Unicode 11.0 Beta Review

U11 beta image The beta review period for Unicode 11.0 has started. The
Unicode Standard is the foundation for all modern software and
communications around the world, including all modern operating systems,
browsers, laptops, and smart phones—plus the Internet and Web (URLs,
HTML, XML, CSS, JSON, etc.). The Unicode Standard, its associated
standards, and data form the foundation for CLDR and ICU releases. Thus
it is important to ensure a smooth transition to each new version of the
standard.

Unicode 11.0 includes a number of changes. Some of the Unicode Standard
Annexes have modifications for Unicode 11.0, often in coordination with
changes to character properties. In particular, there are major changes
to UAX #29, Unicode Text Segmentation. Seven new scripts have been added
in Unicode 11.0, including Hanifi Rohingya. A major adjustment has been
made to the Georgian script, with the introduction of uppercase Georgian
letters. There are also 66 additional emoji characters.

Please review the documentation, adjust your code, test the data files,
and report errors and other issues to the Unicode Consortium by April
23, 2018. Feedback instructions are on the beta page.

See http://unicode.org/versions/beta-11.0.0.html for more information
about testing the 11.0.0 beta.

See http://unicode.org/versions/Unicode11.0.0/ for the current draft
summary of Unicode 11.0.0.
