<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The UCA results are versioned <i>both</i> by the version of the UCA <i>and</i>
|
|
|
|
|
by the version of The Unicode Standard used to process the data.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>These charts only provide one of the alternatives for handling variable
|
|
|
|
|
characters (punctuation), whereby these characters are <b>non-ignorable.</b></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Characters from large blocks, such as CJK-Ideographs, Hangul Syllables,
|
|
|
|
|
Private Use Area, etc. are represented by a sampling.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Some unassigned code points, noncharacters and other edge cases are also
|
|
|
|
|
added to the list for comparison.</li>
