Fwiw .. Unicode 14.0 Beta Review

https://home.unicode.org/unicode-14-0-beta-review/

The beta review period for Unicode 14.0 has started.

The Unicode Standard is the foundation for all modern software and communications around the world, including all modern operating systems, browsers, laptops, and smart phones-plus the Internet and Web (URLs, HTML, XML, CSS, JSON, etc.). The Unicode Standard, its associated standards, and data form the foundation for CLDR and ICU releases.

Thus it is important to ensure a smooth transition to each new version of the standard.

The next version of the Unicode Standard will be Version 14.0.0, planned for release on September 14, 2021.

Unicode 14.0 includes a number of changes and 838 new characters.

Some of the Unicode Standard Annexes have modifications for Unicode 14.0.

Five new scripts have been added in Unicode 14.0.  There are also additional emoji characters.

Please review the documentation, adjust your code, test the data files, and report errors and other issues to the Unicode Consortium by July 13, 2021.

This will be a slightly shorter review period of only five weeks, so prompt feedback is appreciated. Feedback instructions are on the beta page.

The next version of the Unicode Standard will be Version 14.0.0, planned for release on September 14, 2021.
