To handle the UCD XML file a streaming parser like Expat is necessary.
For codepoints.net I use that data to stuff everything in a MySQL
database. If anyone is interested, the code for that is Open Source:

But I agree. I spent an extreme amount of time to get somewhat used to
cldr.unicode.org and and the data repo, and still I have no clue,
where to find a concrete piece of information without digging into the
site.

Hi,
for my work on codepoints.net and Emojipedia I found myself repeatedly
in a place, where I needed some tool like hexdump to inspect the content
of a string. However, instead of raw bytes I am more interested in the
code points that the string is composed of. So I wrote this tool.
I reasoned,
Not technically a school, but I gave a Batman-themed high-level overview

It was well received, especially for its lighter tone on this perceived
dry subject, and
Hi,
please let me start by saying, that I think the adoption of characters
is a very good idea to provide funding for the development of Unicode.
To promote this idea, I thought it could be worthwhile to place an
"adopt this codepoint" button on the description pages of code points on

people involved" :-)
In fact, if such a GET parameter existed, I could remove the dialog and
replace it with a simple link. This sounds like a good idea in principle.
(It would also fix Leo Broukhis' issue.)

Yes, that's kind of the Go-to-font for pan-emoji support. It's a pity,

Is that documented anywhere?

Yes, they have the huge advantage over my http://codepoints.net, that they

Hello,
under http://codepoints.net/api/v1/ I published a REST API to access
information about Unicode (codepoints, blocks, planes, sample glyphs).
There are also tools to transform or filter input. The API documentation is
published on Github:
https://github.com/Boldewyn/Codepoints.net/wiki/API
Out of curiosity, has it happened before, that a glyph was updated (i.e.,
substantially changed) in the standard?

That's great news. I'm really looking forward to see Decode Unicode
having v6.0 displayed.
(By the way: The initial idea to display scripts and hence codepoints
geographically came from Decode Unicode's solution.)

First of all, thanks for all the answers.
It's quite interesting for me to learn, that data here is such
fragmented. As calligrapher, who once was delighted to learn about the
Latf script tag in the context of RFC 5646 et al., I guess I was way
too naive when starting the scripts part of
