Previous one-liner
f(String s)=>'1'+s.runes.map((r)=>r.toRadixString(2).padLeft(7,'0')).join().split('').toList().reversed.reduce((p,e)=>p.substring(0,p.length-1)+(p[p.length-1]==e?'0':'1')+e).split('').reversed.join().substring(1);
This verbosity and lack of easy built ins is really killing this one. Still managed to pull a one liner though.
