+/**
+  * Class definition for a MicrobitFont
+  * This class represents a font that can be used by the display to render text.
+  *
+  * A MicroBitFont is 5x5.
+  * Each Row is represented by a byte in the array.
+  *
+  * Row Format:
+  *            ================================================================
+  *            | Bit 7 | Bit 6 | Bit 5 | Bit 4 | Bit 3 | Bit 2 | Bit 1 | Bit 0 |
+  *            ================================================================
+  *            |  N/A  |  N/A  |  N/A  | Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 | Col 4 | Col 5 |
+  *            |  0x80 |  0x40 |  0x20 | 0x10  | 0x08  | 0x04  | 0x02  | 0x01  |
+  *
+  * Example: { 0x08, 0x08, 0x08, 0x0, 0x08 }
+  *
+  * The above will produce an exclaimation mark on the second column in form the left.
+  *
+  * We could compress further, but the complexity of decode would likely outweigh the gains.
