To minimize resource use, you should be using the special rant character set. We don't need no Unicode to rant, in fact all we need is capital letters, numerals, the comma (everyone needs to catch a breath when they're shouting), a period (if for no other purpose than ellipsis) and an exclamation mark. If compression is the goal, the standard notation of !n (no spaces) can be used, where n is the number of contiguous exclamations required. Some have debated the inclusion of the question mark, but in a true rant any question is rhetorical and "?" might be considered redundant.

There is, of course, the even more optimal Irish rant which on this day cannot be forgotten. This consists of the letter F in place of the combination of the letters CFKU in the customary sequence with the addition of the letters DEGINRS which may be appended to the symbol in only a few combinations. Full comprehension of an Irish rant requires a combination of the context of the rant and lots of Guinness.
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
