Updates and Errata

The following is a list of errata noted for The Unicode Standard, Version 6.1, its code charts, annexes and the Unicode Character Database. It is periodically updated to include corrections to typographic errors and new clarifications of the text. This list also includes errata noted for the core specification, The Unicode Standard, Version 6.1, and not yet corrected in consolidated text.

Formal corrigenda notices for the Unicode Standard can be found at Corrigenda to the Unicode Standard. Corrigenda for the Unicode CLDR are posted at Unicode CLDR Corrigenda, and errata notices for UTS #35: Locale Data Markup Language (LDML) can be found at Errata for UTS #35 LDML.

Date  Summary 
2012-May-21 In Version 6.1 of the Unicode Character Database, there is a typo in the property value alias associated with ccc=132 in the file PropertyValueAliases.txt. The alias is mistakenly listed as "CCC133". This problem will be addressed in Version 6.2.
2012-May-2 In Version 6.1 of UTS #10, Unicode Collation Algorithm, the values "shift-trimmed"and "ignoresp" were omitted from the options column for the "alternate" attribute in Table 14, Collation Parameters. Furthermore, the statement in the description column that "shifted" is the default for UTS #35, Unicode Locale Data Markup Language (LDML), is no longer correct. That note should be updated to indicate that "ignoresp" (equivalent to the attribute value alternate=non-ignorable) is the default for UTS #35.
2012-March-22 The representative glyph for the UTC source of U+FA13, UTC-00846, is incorrect in the Unicode Version 6.1 code charts. The lower-right component is in error, and its representative glyph should match that of its J source, J4-2E79. The representative glyph was correct in the Unicode Version 6.0 code charts. The image below shows sections from the two charts, with the correct and incorrect glyphs marked:
 
2012-March-06 In Version 6.1 of UAX #44, Unicode Character Database, the row for ScriptExtensions.txt should have been deleted from Table 5, Files in the UCD. Note that ScriptExtensions.txt is still a part of the UCD for Version 6.1. However, Table 5 lists data files in the UCD which do not define character properties. Because ScriptExtensions.txt now defines a provisional character property, its listing in Table 5 was in error. The caption for Table 5 will be improved in the next version to make the status of the listings clearer.
2012-March-05 In Version 6.1 of the Unicode Character Database, Takri (sc=Takr) was omitted from the list of scripts using the generic danda and double danda characters, U+0964/U+0965. The following entry in the property file ScriptExtensions.txt:

# Script_Extensions=Beng Deva Guru Orya

0964..0965    ; Beng Deva Guru Orya # Po   [2] DEVANAGARI DANDA..DEVANAGARI DOUBLE DANDA

should have been listed as:

# Script_Extensions=Beng Deva Guru Orya Takr

0964..0965    ; Beng Deva Guru Orya Takr # Po   [2] DEVANAGARI DANDA..DEVANAGARI DOUBLE DANDA
