Mac OS X ships with the built-in Character Palette tool, which
exposes much of this information in somewhat different forms. It
would still be interesting to have Unibook on the platform--for its
formatting, for example, and for some of its unique features, like
"view all characters that share a given character property"--but it
would probably require a significant porting effort.
