WTF-8 could potentially be as compact or more compact than UTF-8 (for
Greek, Arabic ...), since much of the Latin-1 and Latin Extended A blocks
aren't needed in WCode. If you moved the other characters down to
fill that space, you might win

Touché by all of you who've corrected my reliance on dictionaries for tech
definitions.
Jeff,
A byte is the least addressable portion of memory. The IBM 1401 for example
has 6 bit bytes + a word mark. Parity bits don't count. A lot of systems
in the 50's and early 60's had 6 bit bytes. That is why octal became so
popular.
Bytes were not used for systems like the IBM 1620 which
Marco,
I find that people often understand it better when you get away from bytes,
octets etc. and describe Unicode strings as an array of unsigned short (16
bit unsigned integers) in the same manner as single byte characters are an
array of 8 bit integers. This way the only time you have to

smallest addressable unit of storage, in their case 8 bits. It is others who
have appropriated the word for their own purposes, as has happened with
