Talk:Standard Compression Scheme for Unicode

message: 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)

message: It is the compression that matters, that is the sum of Compression1+Compression2; not Compression2 alone, when using multiple compression algorithms. Comparing the compression gain of BOCU/SCSU and UTF-8/UTF-16 is unfair - because SCSU/BOCU stream is already compressed.Technical Note 14, Unicode: A surveyof Unicode compressionJanuary 30, 2004 Using bzip2, a compressor which employs the Burrows-Wheeler algorithm, evenabsurdlyinefficient formats—such as representing each character by its full Unicode name (e.g. LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX)—could be reduced to almostthe same size as more compact formats.  Atkin and Stansifer demonstrate that block-sorting compression techniqueseliminate most of the redundancy of the encoding format.  The supporting data compares the compressibility of each encoding format with bzip2 and declares a “winner,” which is somewhat misleading since the paper attempts to show that all formats are about equally compressible.  (In some cases,the “winner” was only 0.01% smaller than another format!) In contrast, the gzip compression tool, which uses LZ77, generally performed 15% to 25% better on natural-language, small-alphabet textencoded inSCSU or BOCU-1 than on the sametextencoded in UTF-16.  The authors claim thatthese differences are notsignificant,but theycan hardly be considered negligible.. Please correct if wrong. Thanks.175.157.246.242 (talk) 18:48, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

When I immigrated to Canada (Kitchener, Ontario) in 1992, I made a concerted effort to "lose" my "Yankee drawl".  Eventually, I found I was routinely mistaken for a born-and-bred local.  Some of my co-workers, who didn't know me extremely well and weren't aware I was a transplanted Yank, expressed frank amazement or even disbelief upon discovering I was originally from California.

This is not always true.  Depending on which version of the final stage the player is randomly sent to, the maximum size will cap at about 4270 m, 4290 m, or 4296 m.  Careful manipulation of what items to pick up and when can increase that size to about 4297 m 40 cm.
