ROT47 Character Substitution Cipher

The ROT47 (Caesar cipher by 47 chars) is a simple character substitution cipher that replaces a character within the ASCII range [33, 126] with the character 47 character after it (rotation) in the ASCII table. It is an invertible algorithm i.e. applying the same algorithm to the input twice will get the origin text.

ROT47 is a derivative of ROT13. ROT47 introduces mixed letters and symbols, therefore, the encoded text looks more obvious that text has been enciphered. The following is an online ROT47 cipher implemented by Javascript.
ROT47 is the easiest and yet powerful cipher! ROT47 basically makes text unreadable and does not require addtional space.
The ROT47 can be easily implemented by modern programming language in many many ways, e.g. using a lookup table. For example, the following PHP code uses strstr to convert the text by using a lookup table.

    function str_rot47($str)
    {
      return strtr($str, 
        '!"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>[email protected][\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~', 
        'PQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~!"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>[email protected]'
      );
    }

Alternatively, ROT47 can be implemented by computing directly the ROT47-ed ASCII of each given character.

    function Rot47(const s: string): string;
    var
      i, j: integer;
    begin
      Result := s;
      for i := 1 to Length(s) do
      begin
        j := Ord(s[i]);
        if (j in [33..126]) then
        begin
          Result[i] := Chr(33 + ((j + 14) mod 94));
        end;
      end;
    end;
