This example shows the design for the ampersand character (ASCII 38) from the
All Characters chart. This character design does not have any occurrences
where extra dots can be added, resulting in a column being identical to its
predecessor. For instance, column 4, row 4, could be turned on because it would
automatically be turned off during printing, but other bits in column 4 are
different from column 3, which means no compression can occur. Column 9 is
identical to column 8 (blank).
