• Status: Closed
• Assignee: duerst (Martin Dürst)

[duerst (Martin Dürst)]

Unicode 10.0.0 was published about a week ago (see
http://blog.unicode.org/2017/06/announcing-unicode-standard-version-100.html).
Ruby should be updated to this newest version of Unicode.
For details, please see http://unicode.org/versions/Unicode10.0.0/, including http://unicode.org/versions/Unicode10.0.0/#Migration.

[I may use this issue as a summary issue; in that case I'll create sub-issues for particular tasks.]

Yay! More Emoji tokens to create games in pure ruby with these tokens! :D

One day I shall have a game with the unicode snowman ... need some epic
enemies though ...

The sandwich unicode symbol seems also useful. I once had a project where
I bundled together some small images for use in web pages but I guess one
day I could just use Unicode for that. :P

For anyone else being interested in the emojis (sorry Martin, I guess
emojis are what makes unicode great ;) ), here are the new ones:

We even have some for clothing too! And dinosaur!

Working on this now. Just some notes for future, similar issues:

At the moment, using gperf 3.0.4 (rather than gperf 3.1) seems to be important for smooth sailing.

Also, the important make target is all-incs. In addition, the target update-unicode-files is useful. The normalization tables can be updated directly with make lib/unicode_normalize/tables.rb.

The following are the most important tests:
test/test_unicode_normalize.rb
test/ruby/enc
test/ruby/test_m17n*
test/ruby/test_regexp.rb
test/ruby/test_string*
