The problem provides a direct substitution code where each letter corresponds to a specific symbol or digit.
\nFrom ‘PLANT’ is coded as ‘$@2*\u00a9’:
\nP -> $
\nL -> @
\nA -> 2
\nN -> *
\nT -> \u00a9<\/p>\n

From ‘YIELD’ is coded as \u03b264@@%:
\nY -> \u03b2
\nI -> 6
\nE -> 4
\nL -> @
\nD -> %<\/p>\n

Notice that the letter ‘L’ appears in both words and is coded as ‘@’ in both instances, confirming the direct substitution rule.
\nWe need to code the word ‘DELAY’. We find the corresponding code for each letter from the given information:
\nD is coded as % (from YIELD)
\nE is coded as 4 (from YIELD)
\nL is coded as @ (from PLANT or YIELD)
\nA is coded as 2 (from PLANT)
\nY is coded as \u03b2 (from YIELD)<\/p>\n

So, the code for ‘DELAY’ is %4@2\u03b2.<\/section>\n

In direct substitution codes, each letter in the original words corresponds to a unique symbol or letter in the code. Check for consistency if a letter appears in multiple given words.<\/section>\n
Coding-decoding questions can involve various patterns like letter shifting, substitution, or patterns based on position, vowel\/consonant, etc. Identifying the type of pattern is the first step.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
