Something like this was reported a couple of years back, with the addition of two unnatural groups that base-paired reasonably specifically, to give a total of six “letters” to the genetic alphabet. Don’t know if much of anything practical was done with it; it was largely an experimental demonstration of a theoretical concept.

Well, it’s actually seven letters. RNA has a U (uracil) in place of the T (thiamine).
