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.
