Then, you do something like this.

set [i v] to (0)
set [☁Top Score v] to []
repeat until <(i) = (length of (username))>
    change [i v] by (1)
    set [i2 v] to (0)
    repeat until <(letter (i) of (username))=(letter (i2) of (symbol index))
        change [i2 v] by (1)
    end
    if <(length of (i2) = (1)> then
        set [i2 v] to (join (0) (i2))
    end
    set (☁Top Score) to (join (☁Top Score) (i2))
end

So what's going on here?
It starts by setting i, which is a variable representing which letter is being encoded, to zero along with where it's encoding it to. Then, it repeats a process until the entire username has been encoded. i is increased by one to say that the next letter is currently being used. It also resets i2, which is used to find the symbol to encode. It then increments i2 by 1 until it finds what the position of the symbol to be encoded is. It then takes said numer, makes sure it's two symbols long (if it's 1, it adds a zero to the beginning) so that it can be properly decoded. Then it just joins i2 in to the Top Score variable and repeats the process on the next letter.

So to decode it:

set [i v] to (0)
set [Decoded v] to []
repeat until <(i) = ((length of (☁Top Score))>
    change [i v] by (2)
    set [Decoded v] to (letter (join (letter ((i)-(1)) of (☁Top Score) (letter (i) of (☁Top Score)) of (Symbol Index))
end

This one is noticeably simpler. It resets i and the output variable, then it just changes i by two then finds the number pair and joins the letter in the index associated with said nuber pair into the output.

To create a list of people, you just need to use a list-to-variable and variable-to-list compressor/decompressor beforehand. I won't explain how to make the decompressor here, but you compress it like this:

set [i v] to (0)
set [compressed v] to []
repeat until <(i) = (length of [names v])>
    change [i v] by (1)
    set [compressed v] to (join (item (i) of (names)) [§])
end

That's simple. You just put a separator between each item.
To decompress, you just need to figure out how to copy every item until the separator then add the everything, skip the separator, and start the next list item.

what are these red blocks? like what category are they because i cant find them

They're just Scratchblock information that isn't recognised - either because they don't exist or they're not constructed properly. In this case they're just ‘letter of’ and join blocks.
