Gentlemen,
Please read the entire article before sniping, if you're so inclined. I quoted a very small section of it. :-)
Please note that I'm _not_ taking a stand on UTF-16, although I could see why you might think that from the quotes I provided. I'm just trying to point out additional information.

I would have put my money on bzip2 for “the most efficient way possible” if the parameter was size :p
Given that bzip2 requires decompression before you can address individual characters, I don't think it can lay claim to being "most efficient." :)
