Default Converting specific text to numbers then sum

I would like to be able to convert specific letter/s to a specific number and
then be able to sum the total of those numbers. Type in a letter, the letter
remains in the cell but the value would be specific to that text.
Say you have a column with
x
bf
ug
pier

I want x to = 1
bf = 6
ug = 3
pier = 4

Then at the bottom of the column I would like to sum all of the numbers.

So it would look like
x
bf
ug
pier

14

Is there any possible way to achieve this.
