The Unicode NFC/NFD data in ICU is about 32kB, the case mappings some 20kB, bidi some 20kB, miscellaneous properties are somewhere near 50kB I think. (All sizes from memory, didn't double-check them.) It is possible to make them smaller, but I chose to construct the data so that it's memory-mappable and usable as is at runtime. markus
