And they suggest that the combining character table was originally auto-generated from UnicodeData.txt with a "uniset" tool.

Running the script below shows that "0X00AD SOFT HYPHEN" should have zero length (and some others too). I wonder if that is really the case, and which one of the last 2 lines in the script is the right one. What does this mean for us: "Cf Format a format control character" #!/bin/sh if ! test -f UnicodeData.txt; then wget http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/UnicodeData.txt fi && if ! test -f EastAsianWidth.txt; then wget http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/EastAsianWidth.txt fi if ! test -f DerivedGeneralCategory.txt; then wget http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/extracted/DerivedGeneralCategory.txt fi && if ! test -d uniset; then git clone https://github.com/tboegi/uniset.git fi && ( cd uniset && if ! test -x uniset; then autoreconf -i && ./configure --enable-warnings=-Werror CFLAGS='-O0 -ggdb' fi && make ) && UNICODE_DIR=. ./uniset/uniset --32 cat:Me,Mn,Cf #UNICODE_DIR=. ./uniset/uniset --32 cat:Me,Mn > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
