      The javadoc for the java.lang.Character class in JDK7-b66 still refers to old Unicode version:
        "Character information is based on the Unicode Standard, version 4.0."
      though Unicode 5.1 change has been integrated into JDK7-b55.

      This must be fixed because the Java Language Specification Third Edition [1] states
      as follows:
        "The Java platform tracks the Unicode specification as it evolves. The precise
        version of Unicode used by a given release is specified in the documentation of
        the class Character."
