For more information about character +properties and mappings, see <i><a +href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/uni2book/u2.html">The Unicode Standard</a></i>.</p> +<p>The Unicode Character Database has been updated to reflect Version 3.0 of the +Unicode Standard, with many characters added to those published in Version 2.0. +A number of corrections have also been made to case mappings or other errors in +the database noted since the publication of Version 2.0. Normative bidirectional +properties have also been modified to reflect decisions of the Unicode Technical +Committee.</p> +<p>For more information on versions of the Unicode Standard and how to reference +them, see <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/versions/">http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/versions/</a>.</p> +<h2>Conformance</h2> +<p>Character properties may be either normative or informative. <i>Normative</i> +means that implementations that claim conformance to the Unicode Standard (at a +particular version) and which make use of a particular property or field must +follow the specifications of the standard for that property or field in order to +be conformant. The term <i>normative</i> when applied to a property or field of +the Unicode Character Database, does <i>not</i> mean that the value of that +field will never change. Corrections and extensions to the standard in the +future may require minor changes to normative values, even though the Unicode +Technical Committee strives to minimize such changes. An<i> informative </i>property +or field is strongly recommended, but a conformant implementation is free to use +or change such values as it may require while still being conformant to the +standard. Particular implementations may choose to override the properties and +mappings that are not normative. In that case, it is up to the implementer to +establish a protocol to convey that information.</p> +<h2>Files</h2> +<p>The following summarizes the files in the Unicode Character Database.
