For example C<"\x{AC00}" =~ \p{HangulSyllable}> will test true.
-(Handling of surrogates is not implemented yet.)
+(Handling of surrogates is not implemented yet, because Perl
+uses UTF-8 and not UTF-16 internally to represent Unicode.)
Additionally, because scripts differ in their directionality
(for example Hebrew is written right to left), all characters

and further derived properties:
In addition to B<scripts>, Unicode also defines B<blocks> of
characters. The difference between scripts and blocks is that the
-former concept is closer to natural languages, while the latter
+scripts concept is closer to natural languages, while the blocks
concept is more an artificial grouping based on groups of 256 Unicode
characters. For example, the C<Latin> script contains letters from
-many blocks, but it does not contain all the characters from those
-blocks, it does not for example contain digits.
+many blocks. On the other hand, the C<Latin> script does not contain
+all the characters from those blocks, it does not for example contain
+digits because digits are shared across many scripts. Digits and
+other similar groups, like punctuation, are in a category called
+C<Common>.
For more about scripts see the UTR #24:
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr24/
the definitions of some character classes changed (the ones in the
below list that have the C<Block> appended).
