Yes, 14652 is a DTR - a Draft Technical Report.
It covers ISO/IEC 10646-1 up to 1998, with a few characters adopted
in 1999, so it has not got the most recent additions to 10646.

ISO maintains character properties in 10646, while it is actually
done in another specification. Thanks for your clarifications, Sandra!
