Edgar Peepleson Index File Code

The Edgar Peepleson Index File Code is an identification system for Edgar Peepleson's Miis. It uses the RM4SCC barcode symbology, placed below the information of the Mii. It is presented on the EdgarMii documents.

Format
Edgar Peepleson Index File Code consists of the start character, personal appearances of the Mii, sequential code to distinguish the Mii with other Miis from having the same gender, skin colour, hairstyle and eye colour, checksum and a stop character.

Vampirina Hauntley uses a modified version called Vampirina Mii Index, it differs from Edgar Peepleson Index File Code that it has no start or stop symbols, uses checksum but different (ISO 7064 MOD 37-36), separates the DOB and the nickname initial and it suffixes with an X, and it is placed above the information of the Mii.

Checksum
The check digit is calculated using XOR, SUM and MOD functions. Collect odd and even characters, then convert letters to numbers, and then do the XOR, SUM and MOD functions. The checksum becomes a letter when the value is between 10 and 35 (A to Z), otherwise it is the number (0 to 9). The table shows the remainder corresponding to a check character: For example, the code M4IK9CG002R has the odd value of 271 (22 XOR 36 + 18 XOR 50 + 9 XOR 32 + 16 XOR 41 + 0 XOR 57 + 27 XOR 57), and the even value of 254 (4 XOR 36 + 20 XOR 32 + 12 XOR 52 + 0 XOR 56 + 2 XOR 56). It adds up to 525, and then 525 ÷ 36 = 14R21 (14 with remainder 21). The remainder 21 corresponds to the letter L as the check digit.

The checksum is used in Edgar Peepleson Index File Code to allow catching transcription errors such as single character errors, duplication errors, jump twin errors and phonetic errors.
