Errata Fixed in Unicode 5.2.0

This page contains the definitive listing of all errata of record since the publication of The Unicode Standard, Version 5.1 and considered resolved by the release of Unicode Version 5.2. These errata are listed by date in the table below. For prior errata resolved in Unicode 5.1 and earlier, see Errata Fixed in Unicode 5.1.

For errata still pending subsequent to the release of Unicode 5.2.0, see the list of current Updates and Errata.

Date	Summary
2009-Jul-02	In Unicode 5.2 a new character U+19DA NEW TAI LUE THAM DIGIT ONE was added to the New Tai Lue script, to represent a commonly occurring "tham" style alternate digit for one. As part of this change, three other existing New Tai Lue digits U+19D1, U+19D2, and U+19D4 have had their glyphs adjusted to correctly reflect the "hora" style used for the basic set of of New Tai Lue digits. The "tham" style representative glyphs in the charts for Unicode 5.0 and 5.1 are shown on the left. The corrected "hora" style glyphs shown on the right will be used in future versions of the code charts.
2009-May-26	On p. 126 to The Unicode Standard, Version 5.0, there is an error in the bullets after definition D128. Replace the existing text: Any string that is not isCased consists entirely of characters that do not case map to themselves. For example, isCased("abc") is true, and isCased("123") is false. With this revised text: Any isCased string contains at least one character that does not case map to itself. For example, isCased("123") is false because all the characters in "123" case map to themselves, while isCased("abc") and isCased("A12") are both true.
2009-Feb-12	The representative glyph for the character U+135F ETHIOPIC COMBINING GEMINATION MARK is displayed incorrectly without a dotted circle in the code charts for Unicode 5.1. The glyph will be corrected to show the dotted circle in future versions of the code charts (and was correct in earlier versions). The figure below shows the incorrect glyph on the left and the correct glyph on the right:
2009-Jan-16	U+5446 and U+7343 are incorrectly listed as simplified variants of each other in Version 5.1.0 of UAX #38, "Unicode Han Database (Unihan)".
2008-Dec-22	In the charts for Unicode 5.0 and 5.1, the representative glyphs for U+075E and U+075F were inadvertently swapped. The left image below shows the incorrect glyphs, and the right image below shows the correct glyphs. The representative glyphs will be corrected in the next version of the charts. (Note that the glyphs were displayed correctly in the Unicode 4.1 charts.)
2008-Dec-15	The documentation for newly added mathematical symbols in Unicode 5.1.0 incorrectly documents a character U+27CB MATHEMATICAL SPACING LONG SOLIDUS OVERLAY. That was a proposed character, but it was never actually approved for the standard. The erroneous text will be deleted in future revisions of the standard.
2008-Sep-19	On p. 507 of The Unicode Standard, Version 5.0, there is an error in the paragraph on "Change in Representative Glyphs for U+2278 and U+2279", which states that variant glyphs with vertical strokes for these two characters can be requested using variation sequences. Actually, variation sequences for these two characters do not exist, as was clarified by a late note which was added to Version 3.2 of the standard. Replace the existing text: Using U+2278 or U+2279 with VS1 will request these variants explicitly, as will using U+2276 LESS-THAN OR GREATER-THAN or U+2277 GREATER-THAN OR LESS-THAN with U+20D2 COMBINING LONG VERTICAL LINE OVERLAY. Unless fonts are created with the intention to add support for both forms (via VS1 for the upright forms), there is no need to revise the glyphs in existing fonts; ... With this revised text: Using U+2276 LESS-THAN OR GREATER-THAN or U+2277 GREATER-THAN OR LESS-THAN with U+20D2 COMBINING LONG VERTICAL LINE OVERLAY will display these variants explicitly. Unless fonts are created with the intention to add support for both forms, there is no need to revise the glyphs in existing fonts; ...
2008-Aug-21	In UAX #31, "Unicode Identifier and Pattern Syntax" (Version 5.1.0), there is a mistake in the first bullet of A2 in Section 2.3, Layout and Format Control Characters. The text ", followed by a Letter" should be deleted from that bullet, to make the textual description consistent with the regular expression description in the following bullet.
2008-Jun-06	In the code charts for Unicode Versions 5.1 and earlier, the representative glyphs for the case pairs of two Cyrillic letters for Abkhaz, Abkhazian Ha (04A8/04A9) and Abkhazian Che (04BE/04BF), are shown in an old style that is no longer preferred. The glyphs are being updated to reflect modern preferences. The old glyphs are shown below on the left; the new, preferred forms on the right:
2008-May-30	U+1680 OGHAM SPACE MARK is displayed differently depending on the design of an Ogham font. Ogham fonts with stemlines (the norm) show U+1680 as a visible stemline; Ogham fonts without stemlines show it as a blank. The representative glyph in the standard is being updated to reflect this variability and for consistency with the representative glyphs used for other whitespace characters in the standard. The old representative glyph is shown on the left, and the updated glyph on the right.
2008-May-27	In the XML representation of the UCD, Version 5.1.0, some attributes for the character U+A788 MODIFIER LETTER LOW CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT are incorrect. The gc attribute should be "Lm" rather than "Sk"; the Alpha, IDS, XIDS, IDC and XIDC attributes should be 'Y" rather than "N", and the WB and SB attributes should be "LE" rather than "XX".
2008-May-27	In the XML representation of the UCD, Version 5.1.0, the characters U+0000..U+001F and U+007F..U+009F have the incorrect value for the na attribute. It should be the empty string, rather than the string "<control>".
2008-May-7	In UAX #31, "Unicode Identifier and Pattern Syntax" (Version 5.1.0), there is a typo in the description for (X)ID_Start in Table 2, Lexical Classes for Identifiers. "letter numbers (Lu)" should be corrected to read "letter numbers (Nl)".
2008-April-29	In UAX #29, "Unicode Text Segmentation" (Version 5.1.0), there is a typo in the definition of Prepend in Table 2, Grapheme_Cluster_Break Property Values. The correct definition is: "Logical_Order_Exception=True".
2008-February-12	On p. 124 of The Unicode Standard, Version 5.0, there is an error in the Regular Expressions column for "More_Above", in the third row of Table 3-14, Context Specification for Casing. The corrected regular expression should be: [^\p{ccc=230}\p{ccc=0}]* [\p{ccc=230}]
2007-June-4	In Section 12.1, Han on p. 424 of The Unicode Standard, Version 5.0, the last paragraph states that U+FA70 to U+FAD9 are "included in the Unicode Standard to provide full round-trip compatibility with the ideographic repertoire of PKS 5700 parts 1, 2, and 3." However, the Korean standard listed is incorrect, and the text should be corrected to "... the ideographic repertoire of KPS 10721-2000."
2007-May-24	On p. 479 of The Unicode Standard, Version 5.0, the subheading for Linear B Ideograms lists the range as "U+10080--U+108FF". That should be corrected to "U+10080--U+100FF".
2007-January-11	There is an error in the entry for "Trailing Consonant" on page 1147 in the glossary of The Unicode Standard, Version 5.0. "Vowel_Jamo" should be "Trailing_Jamo" in definition (1), thus reading "(1) In Korean, a jamo character with the Hangul_Syllable_Type property value Trailing_Jamo (in the range U+11A8..U+11F9)."
2007-January-5	There is an error in the sample code in section 5.17 on page 182 of The Unicode Standard, Version 5.0. The entry 0x2F in the second row of the rotate table should instead be 0x1F.
2007-January-4	On page 411 of The Unicode Standard, Version 5.0, Table 12-2 incorrectly states the extent of the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A block. The correct range is U+3400 to U+4DBF. In particular, the Yijing Hexagram Symbols starting at U+4DC0 are not part of Extension A.
2007-January-2	Due to a printing error, the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics glyphs at U+1424, U+1426, and U+1487 are missing in the code charts and names list on pages 684 and 687-88 of The Unicode Standard, Version 5.0. These glyphs were correctly represented in the online charts and can be viewed at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1400.pdf.
2007-January-2	The file UNIHAN/FullRSIndex.pdf on the Unicode 5.0 CD-ROM is missing a final page with the last half of the entry for 211 (tooth) and the complete entries for 212 (dragon), 213 (turtle), and 214 (flute). The missing page is available here as a PDF.
2006-December-21	Table 11-16 in The Unicode Standard, Version 5.0 shows "kyu" twice: once at the top of part on page 402 and once at the top of the part on page 403. The repetition is an error and the second instance should be removed.
