Unfortunately operating systems don't make the raw unicode data available (they only offer APIs to query it in various ways). Until they do we all have to ship it seperately.
- pabs3 1y agoDebian has a unicode-data package, so you can just depend on it.
- lifthrasiir 1y agoFor some OSes like Windows, some relevant APIs can be indeed used to reconstruct those tables. I found that this is in fact viable for character encoding tables, only requiring a small table for fixes in most cases.
