RFC 4042: UTF-9 and UTF-18 - Efficient Transformation Formats of Unicode
Link: RFC 4042: UTF-9 and UTF-18 - Efficient Transformation Formats of Unicode
The current representation formats for Unicode (UTF-7, UTF-8, UTF-16) are not storage and computation efficient on platforms that utilize the 9 bit nonet as a natural storage unit instead of the 8 bit octet.
This document describes a transformation format of Unicode that takes advantage of the nonet so that the format will be storage and computation efficient.
