Isnt it the number of sylabuls spoken in the numbers 1-20?
 
It's actually Hexidecimal. I don't know it all by heart, but my -converter- tells me that it decodes into "!1""2"
 
The squares are the invalid characters, they are hex 11, which is "device Control 1". I don't know what that is :confused:
