"140,000 new or modified data fields.
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"In this release, the focus is on:
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
Grammatical features (gender and case)
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"In many languages, forming grammatical phrases requires dealing " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"with grammatical gender and case. Without that, it can sound as bad as "on top " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"of 3 hours" instead of "in 3 hours". The overall goal for CLDR is to supply " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"building blocks so that implementations of advanced message formatting can " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"handle gender and case.
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
Phase 1 (v39) of grammatical features " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"	included just 12 locales (da, de, es, fr, hi, it, nl, no, pl, pt, ru, sv) " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"	for all units of measurement.
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
Phase 2 (v40) has expanded the number of " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"	locales by 29 (am, ar, bn, ca, cs, el, fi, gu, he, hr, hu, hy, is, kn, lt, " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"	lv, ml, mr, nb, pa, ro, si, sk, sl, sr, ta, te, uk, ur), but for a more " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"	restricted number of units.
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
Phase 3 (v41) will further expand the units.
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
Emoji v14 names and search keywords
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"CLDR supplies short names and search keywords for the new emoji, so " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"that implementations can build on them to provide, for example, type-ahead in " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"keyboards.
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
Modernized Survey Tool front end
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"The Survey Tool is used to gather all the data for locales.  CLDR data is used by all" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"major software " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"systems (including all mobile phones) for their software internationalization and localization, adapting software to the conventions of " & @CRLF & _

"140,000 new or modified data fields.
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"In this release, the focus is on:
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
Grammatical features (gender and case)
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"In many languages, forming grammatical phrases requires dealing " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"with grammatical gender and case. Without that, it can sound as bad as "on top " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"of 3 hours" instead of "in 3 hours". The overall goal for CLDR is to supply " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"building blocks so that implementations of advanced message formatting can " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"handle gender and case.
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
Phase 1 (v39) of grammatical features " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"	included just 12 locales (da, de, es, fr, hi, it, nl, no, pl, pt, ru, sv) " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"	for all units of measurement.
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
Phase 2 (v40) has expanded the number of " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"	locales by 29 (am, ar, bn, ca, cs, el, fi, gu, he, hr, hu, hy, is, kn, lt, " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"	lv, ml, mr, nb, pa, ro, si, sk, sl, sr, ta, te, uk, ur), but for a more " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"	restricted number of units.
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
Phase 3 (v41) will further expand the units.
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
Emoji v14 names and search keywords
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"CLDR supplies short names and search keywords for the new emoji, so " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"that implementations can build on them to provide, for example, type-ahead in " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"keyboards.
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"
Modernized Survey Tool front end
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"The Survey Tool is used to gather all the data for locales.  CLDR data is used by all" & @CRLF & _

The Unicode Consortium issued an open call for artists and designers to submit cover design proposals. All submitted designs were reviewed by an independent panel.

"The selected cover artwork for Version 14.0 is an original design by Sophia Tai, an MA student in Typeface Design at the University of Reading. Her cover art represents type in boxes, which shares a visual language with the arrangement of metal type, as well as the Unicode code charts. She selected a global mix of characters to present a variety of writing systems, using neon colors to create liveliness. The neutral background represents a sense of being down to earth, as well as the longevity and preservation of writing systems.
" & @CRLF & _

"
" & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"Two runner-up designs were also selected. One is a contemporary design by Beatriz de Paula Mattos, a graphic design student at the University of Vale do Itajaí, Brazil. The other runner-up design was created by Jesús Barrientos Mora, a professor with a degree in Type Design, who also leads the Talavera Type Workshop foundry in Puebla, Mexico.

"UTS #18 set out to raise the bar, describing how regular expression engines " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"could be adapted to deal with Unicode correctly and completely. Since that time, " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"major programming languages and libraries have adopted level 1 features " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"(supporting all Unicode literals, basic character properties, subtraction, " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"intersection, ...), and some also adopted some level 2 features (full character " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"properties, grapheme clusters, ...).
" & @CRLF & _

" & @CRLF & _

"A major enhancement to UTS #18 in 2020 focused on the addition of " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"Character Classes with strings. The initial impetus for this was to handle emoji " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"effectively in browsers, as most emoji consist of more than one code point. " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"Supporting strings directly in character classes frees up programs from having " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"to download large amounts of data or handle complicated syntax. Using a property " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"like RGI_Emoji allows a regular expression to match both individual codes such " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"as "😁" and multi-codepoint strings such as "🇫🇷". This extension to strings is " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"also important for internationalization. For example, the alphabets used by many " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"languages contain multi-code-point strings, so this extension allows them to be " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"handled easily.
" & @CRLF & _

" & @CRLF & _

"Additional enhancements are in progress this year, based on working " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"with members of the ECMAScript committee, including more clarifications, better " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"guidance on implementation, and addressing some tricky issues dealing with " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"complementing (inverting) Character Classes. The end goal of all of these " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"enhancements in 2020 and 2021 is to significantly raise the level of Unicode " & @CRLF & _
"" & @CRLF & _
"support in programming languages and libraries.
