I'm trying (and failing miserably) in trying to work out how the characters - ij4jkK can express the number 44.

Basically I'm just trying to decode it. But I've really no idea how to even begin doing so, so can anyone help/point me in the right direction?

I've a few examples of the encryption in action -

ij4jkK == 44
ijfjnj == 47
il6jg0 == 60
iipjmwkk7 == 363

I can program to some degree, can I write something to help me solve it?

Wasn't entirely sure where to post this, but um, please don't hurt me if it's bad place...


Thanks.
