SCSU doesn't look very nice for me. The idea is OK but it's just
too complicated. Various proposals of encodings differences or xors
between consecutive characters are IMHO technically better: much
simpler to implement and work as well.
These differential schemes seem to be the way
SCSU is also registered as an IANA charset, although you are
unlikely to find
raw SCSU text on the Internet, due to its use of control
characters (bytes
below 0x20).
And what browser supports SCSU, and what it that browser's reach in term of
population? Because that's usually what

None as far as I know, which sort of destroys the whole plan. It would

be nice if MSIE and Navigator started quietly supporting SCSU, in the
same
way that they quietly (to the average user) began supporting UTF-8.
If you want the code in Navigator, write it up
