Unicode Locale Data v37α available for testing

[alpha image]
<http://unicode.org/announcements/large-alpha-green.png>The alpha
version of Unicode CLDR version 37 is now available for testing. The
beta v37 will contain updates to the LDML spec and is planned for March
25, and the release of v37 is planned for April 22.

Unicode CLDR provides an update to the key building blocks for software
supporting the world's languages. CLDR data is used by all major
software systems <http://cldr.unicode.org/index#TOC-Who-uses-CLDR->
(including mobile phones) for their software internationalization and
localization, adapting software to the conventions of different languages.

v37 is an update release with focus on units and annotations (emoji and
symbol names and search keywords).

*Expanded locale preferences for units of measurement**. *The new unit
preference and conversion data allows formatting functions to pick the
right measurement units for the locale and usage, and convert input
measurement into those units. See additional details in Specification
Changes
<http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-37#TOC-Specification-Changes>.

*Emoji 13.0**. *The emoji annotations (names and search keywords) for
the new Unicode 13.0 emoji are added. The collation sequences are
updated for new Unicode 13.0, and for emoji.

*Annotations (names and keywords) expanded to cover more than emoji.*
This release includes a small set of Unicode symbols (arrow, math,
punctuation, currency, alphanum, and geometric) with more to be added in
future releases. For example, see v37/annotations/romance.html
<https://unicode.org/cldr/charts/37/annotations/romance.html#%E2%80%93>.

*9 New locales added. *Caddo [cad], Hindi in Latin script [hi_Latn],
Kashmiri in Devanagari script [ks_Deva], Maithili [mai], Manipuri
(Meitei Mayek) [mni_Mtei], Nigerian Pidgin [pcm], Santali [sat], Santali
(Devanagari) [sat_Deva], and Sindhi (Devanagari) [sd_Deva]. See Locale
Coverage Data
<https://www.unicode.org/repos/cldr-aux/charts/37/supplemental/locale_coverage.html>
for the coverage per locale, for both new and old locales.

*Grammatical features added. *Grammatical features are added for many
languages, a first step to allowing programmers to format units
according to grammatical context (eg, the dative version of "3 kilometers").

*Updates to code sets.***In particular, the EU is updated (removing GB).
