Consider using only the character set in NewBase60 to ensure all your URLs are print-safe and unambiguous. If you follow the NewBase60 algorithm it has built-in error correction (e.g. O is considered the same as 0)

Character set: [0-9A-HJ-NP-Z_a-km-z]

I didn't know about NewBase60, so we only allow lowercase and numeric characters, and we picked a font where 0 is distinctly different. NewBase60 looks like a much better alternative, I'll look into it. Thanks :)
