rosuav@sikorsky:~$ python3.7 -c "import unicodedata;
print(unicodedata.unidata_version, unicodedata.category('\u1885'))"
9.0.0 Mn
rosuav@sikorsky:~$ python3.6 -c "import unicodedata;
print(unicodedata.unidata_version, unicodedata.category('\u1885'))"
8.0.0 Lo
rosuav@sikorsky:~$ python3.5 -c "import unicodedata;
print(unicodedata.unidata_version, unicodedata.category('\u1885'))"
8.0.0 Lo
rosuav@sikorsky:~$ python3.4 -c "import unicodedata;
print(unicodedata.unidata_version, unicodedata.category('\u1885'))"
6.3.0 Lo
Is it possible that there's a discrepancy between the Unicode version
used by the unicodedata module and the one used by the parser?
