However, this file contains a few errors. The term  Unicode attribute table  in the

following sections refers to the contents of this file after the following corrections

have been applied:

The following entries should have titlecase mappings as shown here:

03D0;GREEK BETA SYMBOL;Ll;0;L;;;;;N;GREEK SMALL LETTER CURLED BETA;;0392;;0392

03D1;GREEK THETA SYMBOL;Ll;0;L;;;;;N;GREEK SMALL LETTER SCRIPT THETA;;0398;;0398

03F0;GREEK KAPPA SYMBOL;Ll;0;L;;;;;N;GREEK SMALL LETTER SCRIPT KAPPA;;039A;;039A

03F1;GREEK RHO SYMBOL;Ll;0;L;;;;;N;GREEK SMALL LETTER TAILED RHO;;03A1;;03A1

The following entries should have numeric values as shown here:

FF10;FULLWIDTH DIGIT ZERO;Nd;0;EN;0030;0;0;0;N;;;;;

FF11;FULLWIDTH DIGIT ONE;Nd;0;EN;0031;1;1;1;N;;;;;

FF16;FULLWIDTH DIGIT SIX;Nd;0;EN;0036;6;6;6;N;;;;;

FF17;FULLWIDTH DIGIT SEVEN;Nd;0;EN;0037;7;7;7;N;;;;;

FF18;FULLWIDTH DIGIT EIGHT;Nd;0;EN;0038;8;8;8;N;;;;;

FF19;FULLWIDTH DIGIT NINE;Nd;0;EN;0039;9;9;9;N;;;;;

The following entries should have no lowercase equivalents:

03DA;GREEK LETTER STIGMA;Lu;0;L;;;;;N;GREEK CAPITAL LETTER STIGMA;;;;

03DC;GREEK LETTER DIGAMMA;Lu;0;L;;;;;N;GREEK CAPITAL LETTER DIGAMMA;;;;

03DE;GREEK LETTER KOPPA;Lu;0;L;;;;;N;GREEK CAPITAL LETTER KOPPA;;;;

03E0;GREEK LETTER SAMPI;Lu;0;L;;;;;N;GREEK CAPITAL LETTER SAMPI;;;;

This entry should have uppercase and titlecase equivalents as shown here:

03C2;GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA;Ll;0;L;;;;;N;;;03A3;;03A3

It is anticipated that these problems will be corrected for Unicode version 2.0.

Java 1.1 will include the methods defined here, either based on Unicode 1.1.5

or, we hope, updated versions of the methods that use the newer Unicode 2.0. The

character attribute table for Unicode 2.0 is currently available on the World Wide

Web as the file:

ftp://unicode.org/pub/MappingTables/UnicodeData 2.0.12.txt

If you are implementing a Java compiler or system, please refer to the page:

http://java.sun.com/Series

which will be updated with information about the Unicode dependent methods.

The biggest change in Unicode 2.0 is a complete rearrangement of the Korean

Hangul characters. There are numerous smaller improvements as well.

It is our intention that Java will track Unicode as it evolves over time. Given

that full Unicode support is just emerging in the marketplace, and that changes in

Unicode are in areas which are not yet widely used, this should cause minimal

problems and further Java's goal of worldwide language support.
