The most efficient way to buy the Unicode Standard is from the Unicode
Consortium. The order form is at:

  http://www.unicode.org/unicode/uni2book/u2ord.html

or you can call (408) 777-3721. All major credit cards are accepted.

But since you're at Berkeley, you might want to check the ASUC bookstore
first.

The Unicode Standard is only available in book form. The CD-ROM
accompanying the book contains various tables, etc., but not the full text.

To be completely up to date, you will also need the supplementary Unicode
Technical Report #8, "The Unicode Standard, Version 2.1," which is
Web-published at:
  http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr8.html

As John noted, the code charts are also published on the Unicode Web site,
but this is not the complete book.
