It does so by dynamically mapping values in the range 128–255 to offsets within particular blocks of 128 characters. The initial conditions of the encoder mean that existing strings in <a href="/wiki/ASCII" title="ASCII">ASCII</a> and <a href="/wiki/ISO-8859-1" class="mw-redirect" title="ISO-8859-1">ISO-8859-1</a> that do not contain C0 control codes other than NULL TAB CR and LF can be treated as SCSU strings. Since most alphabets do reside in blocks of contiguous Unicode codepoints, texts that use small alphabets and either ASCII punctuation or punctuation that fits within the window for the main alphabet can be encoded at one byte per character (plus setup overhead, which for common languages is often only 1 byte), most other punctuation can be encoded at 2 bytes per symbol through non-locking shifts. SCSU can also switch to <a href="/wiki/UTF-16" title="UTF-16">UTF-16</a> internally to handle non-alphabetic languages. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History_&_use"><span id="History_.26_use"></span>History & use</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Standard_Compression_Scheme_for_Unicode&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History & use"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Reuters" title="Reuters">Reuters</a> originally developed SCSU, then under the name RCSU for Reuters Compression Scheme for Unicode.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Ewellic_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ewellic-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At first the Unicode Consortium considered it to be a character encoding,<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but in 1999 changed its mind: although it was still considered a transfer encoding syntax, for a while it was no longer considered a character encoding because different compressors might yield different outputs for the same text.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, in 2004 this decision was reverted and now SCSU is considered a <i>compressing</i> character encoding scheme, as opposed to a simple or compound character encoding scheme.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Roman Czyborra (of <a href="/wiki/GNU_Unifont" title="GNU Unifont">GNU Unifont</a>) wrote a decompressor.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The IBM-contributed decompressor is found in <a href="/wiki/International_Components_for_Unicode" title="International Components for Unicode">International Components for Unicode</a>, along with a compressor written in Java.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Simpler reference codecs are available as attachments to TR6. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Symbian_OS" class="mw-redirect" title="Symbian OS">Symbian OS</a>, an operating system for mobile phones and other mobile devices, uses SCSU to serialize strings. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Microsoft_SQL_Server" title="Microsoft SQL Server">SQL Server 2008 R2</a> uses SCSU to compress Unicode values (there meaning from strings in <a href="/wiki/UCS-2" class="mw-redirect" title="UCS-2">UCS-2</a> encoding) stored in <i>nchar(n)</i> and <i>nvarchar(n)</i> columns, achieving space savings between 15% and 50% (while <a href="/wiki/UTF-8" title="UTF-8">UTF-8</a> only has this 50% reduction for <a href="/wiki/ASCII" title="ASCII">ASCII</a> subset of Unicode), depending on the language of the data.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_scheme">The scheme</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Standard_Compression_Scheme_for_Unicode&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: The scheme"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The following sections briefly describe the anatomy of a compressed SCSU stream.
