ASCII, Unicode, and EBCDIC are, of course, not the only numeric / character code

Question

ASCII, Unicode, and EBCDIC are, of course, not the only numeric / character codes. The Sophomites from the planet Collegium use the rather strange code shown in the Figure below. There are only thirteen characters in the Sophomite alphabet, and each character uses a 5-bit code. In addition, there are four numeric digits, since the Sophomites use base 4 for their arithmetic. Given the following Sophomite sequence, what is the corresponding binary message being sent by the Sophomites?

(HINT: Decode the sequence reading from left to right then write the corresponding binary sequence using the values in the table provided, leaving a space between each binary sequence.)

Explanation / Answer

Code: 01011 10011 10110 11111011 01101 00100 00001 11111110 11111101 10000
