I meant: "With SCSU that avoids Unicode mode and SQU whenever possible, most alphabetic languages work fairly well." UQU only occurs in Unicode mode, and escapes tag bytes. SQU does not use a window for a character, but passes it as 2 bytes of following data. Of course, an initial byte-order mark may be emitted using SQU; this has only a small impact on performance.
