At a very bare minimum you will want 36 characters in your alphabet, for lower case and numeric stuff. Beyond that you will want spaces and common punctuation:
.,?:;"' <-- 7 characters
after that you probably want all of the shift symbols which is another 14.
Space 1
and then []{}/\ <- another 6
This comes to a total of 64 characters in the alphabet which can be squeezed into 6 bits. If every character takes 3/4 byte, you can fit 4/3 characters in the same number of bytes. This stretches the number of characters from 75 to 100.
This notably excludes capital letters and <>
