-
-<h2>Limitations on Rights to Redistribute This Data</h2>
-
-<p>Recipient is granted the right to make copies in any form for internal

-
-Character Database can be redistributed to third parties or other organizations
-
-(whether for profit or not) as long as this notice and the disclaimer notice are

-
-<h2>Introduction</h2>
-
-<p>The Unicode Character Database is a set of files that define the Unicode
-
-character properties and internal mappings. For more information about character
-
-properties and mappings, see <i><a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/uni2book/u2.html">The
-
-Unicode Standard</a></i>.</p>
-
-<p>The Unicode Character Database has been updated to reflect Version 3.0 of the
-
-Unicode Standard, with many characters added to those published in Version 2.0.
-
-A number of corrections have also been made to case mappings or other errors in
-
-the database noted since the publication of Version 2.0. Normative bidirectional
-
-properties have also been modified to reflect decisions of the Unicode Technical
-
-Committee.</p>
-
-<p>For more information on versions of the Unicode Standard and how to reference
-
-them, see <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/versions/">http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/versions/</a>.</p>
-
-<h2>Conformance</h2>
-
-<p>Character properties may be either normative or informative. <i>Normative</i>
-
-means that implementations that claim conformance to the Unicode Standard (at a
-
-particular version) and which make use of a particular property or field must
-
-follow the specifications of the standard for that property or field in order to
-
-be conformant. The term <i>normative</i> when applied to a property or field of
-
-the Unicode Character Database, does <i>not</i> mean that the value of that
-
-field will never change. Corrections and extensions to the standard in the
-
-future may require minor changes to normative values, even though the Unicode
-
-Technical Committee strives to minimize such changes. An<i> informative </i>property
-
-or field is strongly recommended, but a conformant implementation is free to use
-
-or change such values as it may require while still being conformant to the
-
-standard. Particular implementations may choose to override the properties and
-
-mappings that are not normative. In that case, it is up to the implementer to
-
-establish a protocol to convey that information.</p>
-
-<h2>Files</h2>
-
