The next version of the Unicode Standard will be Version 4.1.0, due for  
release in March, 2005.

A BETA version of the updated Unicode Character Database files is  
available for public comment. We strongly encourage implementers to  
download these files and test them with their programs, well before the end  
of the beta period. These files are located at the following URL:

	http://www.unicode.org/Public/4.1.0/

(or	ftp://www.unicode.org/Public/4.1.0/)

A detailed description of the beta is located here:

	http://www.unicode.org/versions/beta.html

Any comments on the beta Unicode Character Database should be reported  
using the Unicode reporting form. The comment period ends January 31, 2005.  
All substantive comments must be received by that date for consideration  
at the next UTC meeting. Editorial comments (typos, etc) may be submitted  
after that date for consideration in the final editorial work.

Note: All beta files may be updated, replaced, or superseded by other  
files at any time. The beta files will be discarded once Unicode 4.1.0 is  
final. It is inappropriate to cite these files as other than a work in  
progress.

Testers should not commit any product or implementation to the code points  
in the current beta data files. Testers should also be ready for retesting  
based on updated data files which will be posted after the February, 2005  
UTC meeting.

------------

If you have comments for official consideration, please post them by
