"Unicode values" is misleading here, meaning USC-2 (precursor to UTF-16) for SQL Server. Jus going with the source.

Line 6: [[Reuters]], the organization that floated the first draft of SCSU, is believed to use SCSU internally. [[Microsoft SQL Server\|SQL Server 2008 R2]] uses SCSU to compress Unicode values (there meaning [[UCS-2]]) stored in ''nchar(n)'' and ''nvarchar(n)'' columns, achieving space savings between 15% and 50% (while [[UTF-8]] already has this 50% reduction for [[ASCII]] subset of Unicode), depending on the language of the data.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee240835(SQL.105).aspx\|title=Unicode Compression Implementation (SQL Server 2008 R2 Books Online)\|accessdate=2008-08-18}}</ref> == Comparison with general-purpose plain text compression schemes ==
