This version of the Standard also brings technical improvements to support implementers. Improved changes to property values and their aliases mean that properties now have easy-to-specify labels. The new labels combined with a new script extensions property means that regular expressions can be more straightforward and are easier to validate.<\/p>\n
Over 200 new Standardized Variants have been added for emoji characters, allowing implementations to distinguish preferred display styles between text and emoji styles. For example:<\/p>\n
\n26FA FE0E
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.unicode.org\/cgi-bin\/varglyph?24-26FA-FE0E\")
TENT text style
\n26FA FE0F
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.unicode.org\/cgi-bin\/varglyph?24-26FA-FE0F\")
TENT emoji style
\n26FD FE0E
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.unicode.org\/cgi-bin\/varglyph?24-26FD-FE0E\")
FUEL PUMP text style
\n26FD FE0F
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.unicode.org\/cgi-bin\/varglyph?24-26FD-FE0F\")
FUEL PUMP emoji style\n<\/div>\n
Among the notable property changes and additions in Unicode 6.1 are two new line break property values, which improve the line-breaking behavior of Hebrew and Japanese text. Segmentation behavior was also improved for Thai, Lao, and similar languages.<\/p>\n
Two other important Unicode specifications are maintained in synchrony with the Unicode Standard, and have updates for Version 6.1. These will be finalized in February:<\/p>\n
