Can you decipher this?

    I created a cipher and I want to know how secure it is.
    So can you decipher it?

    Here is the cipher text:
    ⌠#óºó;ä%_!ºπ+Ñ%_à⌠⌠:⌠

    Short answer: no. But %_ is a space, seperating the string into 3 shorter strings.

    I dont see how every cipher can be cracked.
    I can see this one being cracked if I encrypted a large amount of text.
    (Even though I took measures to stop that)

    Also %_ is just two symbols, i eliminated spaces in the cipher text.

    Well... it was worth a shot. Your right, the more characters you have, the easier it makes the job of analysing the string - especially using frequency analysis as it increases the data (for calculating IoC [index of coincidence]). Eliminating spaces and characters marking the end/start of words is your best bet.
