a) you see if there is a Unicode friendly library you can use that already
does this for you.
b) you write a program to parse the file and extract what your application
needs. With clever data encoding you can pack most of the fields of
UNIDATA into a very tight space. Long ago in the Unicode conference
proceedings somebody illustrated how they used trie structures to
efficiently
build the lookup tables - the boring parts of the encoding space have
shorter branches than the areas where every codepoint is different from
it's neighbour.
