Compression Mode 08 — URL since v2.0.0

This compression mode is optimized for compressing URLs.

It encodes the URL as a compact byte stream instead of regular UTF-16 characters, preserving the original URL exactly.

How It Works

1. Percent-encoded sequences (%XX) are decoded into raw bytes.
2. All remaining characters are converted into UTF-16 code units.
3. The resulting byte stream is packed into UTF-16 characters.

The compressed output contains only the encoded URL payload.
