I guess "mirk" --> "mi-ru-ku" (3 katakana), "taikin katchuretchu" -->
"chi-ki-n ka-tsu-re-tsu" (3 + 4 katakana).

I don't think it's not irreversible. For example, we have kanji
characters "gyuu nyuu" (2 kanji characters) having same meaning as
milk = miruku, but we cannot interchange "gyuu nyuu" with "miruku" in
most cases.

Depends. For example, "pu-ro-se-su" (= process) will be totally 12
bytes in UTF-8.
