But that's just me. I do a little bit of Polish and Japanese and might do a little Burmese, so I need Unicode. But since I'm mostly English and Spanish and French, if I used UTF-16 my files would be 49.x% zero bytes. I have often been tempted to write such a package. Has it already been done? I admit it--I don't even know what UCS-2 is. :-)
