The table is informative and should not be construed as specification.
The wording "has supported" should be sufficient.
If this is not specification then doesn't that imply that any provider of any
version of OpenJDK would be free to support, or not, whatever version of
Unicode that they chose? Surely a minimum supported version must be part of the
platform specification?
The current version of Unicode is specified in a normative statement just
before the table.
"Character information is based on the Unicode Standard, version 13.0."
The table is not a specification of past revisions.
RIght. And each Java SE release's spec has the same sentence with the version
replaced. In fact, vendors cannot incorporate arbitrary Unicode versions as it
would involve API changes. If they wanted to do so, an MR should have to be
released.
Roger and Naoto, thanks for clarifying. I took Roger's original comment
out of context.
