In alphabetical series A-Z each letter except letters having place value (as per alphabetical series) as multiple of 5 is assigned a different number from 5-10 (for ex- A is coded as 5, B-6………. G-10) and again those numbers get repeated (for ex- H-5, I-6………so on).
Also letter which has place value as multiple of 5 is assigned a different symbol viz. £, β, µ, ∞, Ω.

In coded language-
“Syntax of though” is coded as – 8Ω10∞56 µ9 ∞5µ9105
“Paragraph jam time” is coded as – 5575107555 ß59 ∞69£
“Formal used yield” is coded as – 9µ7958 98£8 Ω6£88
