As a by-product of our recent work on collation, we developed a method of
Unicode compression that is similar to SCSU, in that small alphabets are
about a byte per character and large alphabets are about two bytes per
character.
The main difference from SCSU is that this method preserves
The main difference from SCSU is that this method preserves binary order.
Ah. And which binary order does it preserve?
The right one, or the other one? ;-)

Mark,
This sounds like a great idea. I was wondering however, if spaces in non-plane 0
characters set will cause problems with the compression efficiency. Maybe you should
consider a special case for spaces.
Maybe you could use something like offsetting the displacement values to
It preserves code point binary order (UTF-8 / UTF-32). However, one could
also easily produce a minor variant that preserves UTF-16 binary order as
well.

We aren't worried about the transition to and from space for supplementary
characters, since as a fraction of all text they will be exceedingly rare (
0.01%, our estimate).
As to Korean, it might save some storage to always reset at space, but

Shades of UTF-8s!!! Please don't provide UTF-16 binary order.

I wrote a couple of programs for a Control Data Corporation (CDC) 6600 back
in the early '70s. I recall that the smallest addressable unit was a 60 bit
word (though there were special instructions to pack and unpack some size
of character -- was it 6 bit?)

Correct, except that there
The Asia/East Asian/CJK thread reminded me of one of my own pet peeves,
the use of 'ideograph' to refer to kanji.
Perhaps some of the professionals on this list can enlighten me here. I
thought that an ideograph meant that the graph stood for an idea, not a

Maybe ru is better because few words start with ru.
