Unishox: A hybrid encoder for Short Unicode Strings
Arundale Ramanathan
Unishox is a hybrid encoding technique with which short unicode strings could be compressed using context aware pre-mapped codes and delta coding resulting in surprisingly good ratios. Space occupied by short strings become significant in memory constrained environments such as Arduino Uno and ESP8266. Text exchange in Chat applications and social media posts is another area where cost savings could be seen using such compression. It is also possible to achieve savings in bandwidth and storage cost by storing and retrieving independent strings in Cloud databases.
