The Unicode FTP site (ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public, now temporarily remapped
on http://www.unicode.org/Public) contains several files with mappings of
East Asian character sets to/from Unicode.
Are all these sources in sync? If not, which ones is it better to trust?
- UNIDATA/CJKXREF.TXT (containing Big-5, CCCII-1, CNS-1, CNS-2, CNS-E,
EACC=ANSI-Z39-64-89, GB-0=2312-80, GB-1=12345-90, GB-3=7589-87,

Moreover, directory UNIDATA contains <UnicodeData.txt> and
<UnicodeData-Latest.txt>. They seem to always be identical (same date &
time, same size).
Which one of them is the official Unicode database, and what is the other
one for?
Thanks.
