Overview

tc-lib-unicode-data is a data-centric package that provides Unicode lookup tables, mappings, and constants consumed by tc-lib-unicode and related libraries.

It externalizes large Unicode datasets into a dedicated package so runtime libraries can stay focused on algorithms instead of data distribution. Versioned data updates also become easier to manage and review as Unicode standards evolve.
