It doesn't mean J. Here, this is from a GF speculation and analysis thread that I started on another forum I'm a member of:

As it appears in S01E20 Gideon Rises:

There are 3 rows of 14 symbols each. The symbols aren't aligned precisely in columns; it seems hand-kerned. In the first two rows, '0' appears 7 times and '1' appears 7 times. In the last row, '0' appears 8 times and '1' appears 6 times.

As a binary image:

Treated as binary digits, you have 42 of them that you could partition into groups of 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, or 42.

Treating them as groups of n, converted into base 2, 10, and 16; ie. binary, integer, and hexadecimal: 0,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0 0,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0 0,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0

We can A1Z26 the above cause why not (mod 26): A, A, C, A, A, A, 0, 0, A, 0, B, C, A, C, A, C, B, A, 0, A, 0 B, G, B, E, 0, A, A, C, C, E, G, A, 0, D W, U, A, K, C, E, D T, F, I, C, H, P R, K, 0 Y, L

Looked at from another angle, if it  was  a code, what would/could it contain?

A bunch of other numbers with intrinsic meaning? Perhaps (see above). No meaning or pattern discernable to me.

An actual sequence? Searching for any of the above integer sequences at  http://oeis.org/ returns no results, so it's not an actual sequence or it is further encoded.

An actual English message? 42 bits is not a lot. You could encode 42 / log_2(26) ~= 8.9 base26 numbers, ie. 8-ish English alphabet letters.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:normal;">One can run those through the other known ciphers or combinations of ciphers from the show to get other sequences of unintelligible-looking letters. One can also try starting with other permutations of the original binary sequence before conversion.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:normal;">Could it be anything at all? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:normal;">Statistical analysis can be done on it to look at its order/randomness. The assumption being that a (weak) code, an artist's 'random' sequence, and true random noise will be distinguishable under this kind of analysis. This is what governments hire PhD's to do.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:normal;">Conclusion: It's not a code; codes made by a TV show creator are not supposed to be this hard. On the other hand, all codes are meant to look meaningless until it is decoded. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-style:italic;">Or <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:normal;">, it's saying "We a duck". Quack. <ac_metadata title="On the subject of the Binary on the hiding places page"> </ac_metadata>
