Hi, Karl


Someone should have provided a response sooner.



First, the re-ordering of data in ScriptExtensions.txt actually was done in 
Unicode 16.0. See 
https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/tr44-34.html#Change_History.



Regarding the entry for 02C7, the script extension was changed from {Common} in 
15.1 (by virtue of no entry, hence defaulting to its Script property) to 
{Latin, Bopomofo} in 16.0. That was part of a set of additions to 
ScriptExtensions.txt that UTC had approved at UTC #178 (January 2024) — see 
consensus 178-C39:



https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2024/24006.htm#178-C39



The change was committed into the file within the following month, and would 
have been visible in public review no later than the Unicode 16.0 Beta.

Subject: Changes to the Script Extension property in 16.0 that aren't 
documented in the release notes



I got a complaint from the field that U+02C7 is unexpectedly listed as in the 
Latin script in 16.0



Someone investigated and the only changes listed for that property are that the 
ScriptExtensions.txt file has been re-ordered.



I checked, and they are correct.  I then looked at a difference listing between 
the 15.1 and 16.0 versions, and there are extensive changes beyond reordering.



Is there something we're missing, or did the 16.0 changes list omit these 
things?
