Talk:Standard Compression Scheme for Unicode
Appearance
When it says 1 byte per character (plus overhead) for many text files, that's exactly what it means. As long as they don't use obscure control characters, all text files in ASCII or ISO-8859-{1,5-9,11} use 1 byte per character plus a couple bytes at the start to set the mode. Not ~1 byte, 1 byte.--Prosfilaes 06:22, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
