	charMap is a 16-bit string of 1's & 0's that denote the character map when displayed.
	For the standard 15-pixel (5x3) characters, only the 15 LSBs are used
	When organized in the rows and columns of the character map, the 1's will be the outline of the lit LEDs in the display.
	The 0's will not be lit in the display.
	This means more processing to later convert the bitmap back to displayable characters,
	but saves a lot of memory over having to store the full character matrix for each character.
