Why not use SCSU?
You get the small size and the encoder/decoder aren't that complicated.
You get the additional advantage that some many years in the future, if
data that are serialized to your scheme are found on an old hard-disk,
someone has a chance to read them, because SCSU is well-documented (see
UTS#6).
