Hello,

Unicode 17.0.0 was released on September 9th. It adds 4803 new characters for a total of 159’801 characters.

Among other interesting scripts, this adds support for the Beria Erfe script, a modern-use script from Africa which coincidentally is also refered to as the camel alphabet.

For more information about other additions see this page.

Accordingly these libraries had to be updated (aggregated, boring, release notes here)

  • Uucd 17.0.0 Unicode character database decoder for OCaml, docs
  • Uucp 17.0.0 Unicode character properties for OCaml, docs
  • Uunf 17.0.0 Unicode text normalization for OCaml, docs
  • Uuseg 17.0.0 Unicode text segmentation for OCaml, docs

Both Uucd and Uucp are incompatible releases sinces new block and script enumerants were added.

Other than that the minimal Unicode introduction and Unicode OCaml tips is still here and remember that despite the myths OCaml :heart: Unicode.

A big thanks for funding from the OCaml Software Foundation and from my donors.

Daniel
