would be nice to see version of unicode that introduced character

[dankamongmen]

Hey there! I love your tool, and have been using and recommending it for years.

It would be nice to display the version of Unicode that introduced a character, e.g. "13.0" for say U+1FBF5 SEGMENTED DIGIT FIVE. I don't believe that this can be determined strictly from Block membership, but I'm not certain that it can't (i.e. I think non-full Blocks can have characters added over time). It seems reasonable to require an external data source, as the Block information does.

This is of course strictly a wishlist item. If you have no interest in doing it, but would accept a patch, feel free to assign it to me, and I'll kick one over to you when I get the time. Thanks!

Dank, you could reference /usr/share/unicode/DerivedAge.txt from either the unicode-data package, or directly from the source: https://unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/DerivedAge.txt

oh sweet! i'd still like to have some confirmation that a patch would be welcomed before embarking on this, but it's good to know the information is available.
