I’m not an expert, but I think MD5 isn’t the best for this purpose due to collision attacks. If it’s a very small plain-english ASCII message, then collision attacks are probably not a worry (I think?), but it’s probably better to use something like SHA-2 or SHA-3 anyways.

That might well be. I haven’t a clue which hash functions do what relative to one another. But yeah, the thing it encodes is English ASCII text.
