Hello,
Mark Davis and I developed a concrete, MIME-friendly version of the BOCU algorithm that we presented earlier (http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/docs/papers/binary_ordered_compression_for_unicode.html).
We have a summary and spec with sample code at http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/icuhtml/design/conversion/bocu1/bocu1.html
BOCU-1:
A MIME-compatible application of the
Binary Ordered Compression for Unicode base algorithm.
"... BOCU-1 combines the wide applicability of UTF-8
with the compactness of SCSU.
It is useful for short strings and
maintains code point order. ... stateful ..."
Feedback is welcome.
Best regards,
markus
