Prior Versions of Unibook™
This page contains prior versions of the
Unibook Character browser.
These prior versions are primarily intended for users that run an
older version of Windows and discover that a newer version of
Unibook does not run on their system.
While they will run, they provide less functionality than a more
up-to-date version and the data files associated with them no longer
reflect the state of the Unicode
Character Database.
The latest version of the Unibook utility is available free of charge for
downloading here.
Data Files
The data files accompanying any of these prior versions match those of
the corresponding earlier version of the Unicode Standard. Some of
the files have been renamed or compacted for size. The latest and
complete versions of the data files are found in the
Unicode Character Database.
You may be able to manually replace these older files by more recent
ones. However prior versions of Unibook cannot read all property
data for recently defined properties, thus requiring some edits to
remove data that cannot be parsed.
Installation Notes
After downloading the selected version, please expand the
zip file to a clean folder and follow the instructions in
the readme.txt file.
The Unicode Consortium is not able to provide technical support
to users of these versions.
