All Tangut-related utilities and sample scripts have been moved from 'Unicopedia Sinica' to a new dedicated application: 'Unicopedia Tangutica'

This current app version is a pre-release (Beta), since full support for Unicode 17.0 is not yet available in the Electron framework. More specifically, results from the "Unicode Foldings", "Unicode Normalizer", and "Unicode Segmenter" utilities cannot be fully trusted...

The "official" Unicode Regular Expressions (UTS #18) document, dated February 8, 2022, has never been updated since then, and the four new Unicode properties introduced in Unicode 15.1 are only listed in the Proposed Update *draft*, dated May 11, 2023...
This could explain why #Safari, #Firefox, and the #Electron framework (#Chromium) trigger an "invalid property" error for the /\p{IDS_Unary_Operator}/u #regex in JavaScript, while /\p{IDS_Binary_Operator}/u is ok...
According to the "Can I Unicode‽" web page, as of today, the #Chrome navigator is still "stuck" in Unicode 15.1, while the latest version of #Unicode is 17.0!

The fact that the #Electron framework is based on #Chromium probably explains why it is still lagging behind too...
Supporting Unicode 16.0 would allow me to produce a final stable version of my Unicopedia Plus app, before I can start working on a version for Unicode 17.0.
Until now, I've been able to provide a working (pre-release though) edition of my Unicopedia Plus app, targeting a specific #Unicode version not yet supported by the #Electron framework, by embedding a copy of all the up-to-date Unicode data files, and making use of the `regexpu-core` module to emulate the most "critical" regular expressions, but this is merely a workaround, not what it has been designed for in the first place...
As you might expect, my main application Unicopedia Plus relies heavily on #Unicode...
Today, I updated the #Electron framework to its latest major version 39.0.0, hoping it would at last bring full support to Unicode 16.0, published by the UTC in September 2024 , but unfortunately no; it is still stuck in Unicode 15.1, published in September 2023! Moreover, Unicode 17.0 has already been officially released...
New utility in Unicopedia Plus:
- Unihan Total Strokes
New in the CJK Variations utility of Unicopedia Sinica:

No Electron support for the latest Unicode version is a major hindrance for my open-source Unicopedia Plus application, which I have to keep in Beta version for a long time because of that...
