Most bit efficient text communication method?

What would be the most efficient text communication method for a spacecraft operating on a super low bit rate (I'm talking something like 5 bits an hour, excluding error handling)?

As you want both complexity (full English language and numbers) and speed (letters per day) resorting to something like Morse code seems the most obvious solution but is there any other options out there?
