Hi, Wolfgang and Hans. I updated char-ini.lua to include new Unicode
17.0 codepoint ranges.
Updating unicode happens bit differently and hasn't changed much since
we started with mkiv. There is a script that filters data from various
files and updates the character database (so I don't have to waste much
time on it). However, because we also add our own info there, I always
(visually) diff the changes in order to see if all went well.
I hadn't noticed the 17 update so I just synched. Normally updating
takes little time. It looks like again this time some egyptian stuff was
added (I'm still considering moving some rare ancient scripts to a
second database and load those on demand). There are also some more
variants defined so I decided to adapt that a bit more agressively.
These ranges: the script reports them so I then add them. With respect
to emoji, we do some magic with the test file in order to support
sequences. I could probably do a bit more but emoji are not a top
priority in the kind of typesetting doen with context.
So, a next upload will be in sync with unicode.
Hans
