Comment on UTF-n: Brainstorming alternate text encodings

Comments

It would be good to have demo text that plays to UTF-n's advantage, so I don't have to copy-paste from someplace like jp.wikipedia.org myself :)

It looks like it preserves some of UTF-8's stream synchronization properties, but does it have UTF-8's wonderful property of being recognizable by simple heuristics to great confidence even for tiny sequences?
