Design a circuit which displays the letters A through J on a seven-segment indicator. The circuit has four inputs W, X, Y, Z which represent the last 4 bits of the ASCII code for the letter to be displayed. For example, if WXYZ = 0001, “A” will be displayed. The letters should be displayed in the following form:

  

    ABCDEF9HEJ  

  

Design your circuit using only two-, three-, and four-input NOR gates and inverters. Any solution with 22 or fewer gates and inverters (not counting the four inverters for the inputs) is acceptable.
