6 | Currently, the Unicode Character Database files are at |
7 | the version level: |
8 | |
9 | Unicode Standard, Version 3.1. |
10 | |
11 | For information about the standard itself, see |
12 | UAX #27, Unicode 3.1. <http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr27/> |

14 | Detailed documentation of the files constituting the |
15 | Unicode Character Database (contributory data files for |
16 | the standard itself) can now be found in |
50fc4248 |
17 | UnicodeCharacterDatabase.html. See also UnicodeData.html, |
18 | PropList.html, NamesList.html, and DerivedProperties.html |
19 | for specific details about particular files or sets of |
20 | files. |

22 | Unihan.txt is a very large file. For convenience, the current |
23 | Unicode 3.1 version of Unihan.txt is also available in |
24 | three compressed formats in the Unicode 3.1 update directory. |
25 | See: <http://www.unicode.org/Public/3.1-Update/> or |
26 | <ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/3.1-Update/> |

27 | |
28 | Unihan-3.1.zip for Windows. (Use winzip) |
29 | Unihan-3.1.Z for Unix. (Use uncompress) |
30 | Unihan-3.1.gz for Unix. (Use gzip) |
31 | |

32 | The Unicode 3.1 update directory also contains a winzip |
33 | version of all the other contributory data files for |
34 | that update directory. That file is named: |
35 | |
36 | UCDwithoutUnihan.zip (Use winzip) |
37 | |
38 | UCDwithoutUnihan.zip is a convenient way to download |
39 | most of the Unicode Character Database files, but to |
40 | be complete, be sure to also get ArabicShaping.txt, |
41 | BidiMirroring.txt, and Jamo.txt, which were unchanged |
42 | between Unicode 3.0.1 and Unicode 3.1, and which were |
43 | therefore not included in the 3.1-Update directory. |
44 | |
45 | Note that the files are zipped in |
50fc4248 |
46 | exactly the same format they have on the server (with Unix |
e2be6f07 |
47 | line endings). From a browser, right-clicking on |
48 | UCDwithoutUnihan.zip will allow automatic download and unzipping on a |
50fc4248 |
49 | Windows system with winzip installed. |
