Unicode 14.0 Beta

The great library, thank you!
As I assume, first of all, you developed it for Contour.
According to https://github.com/ThomasDickey/uniset-snapshots xterm already uses Unicode 14.0.
In my UCD_14 branch I tried to do this.
What do you think?
NB: all tests updated to Catch v3.
I love it!
But i would prefer to namespace by unicode version in order to give access to both/ more versions. What do you think?
So that if you request the script of a Codepoint in unicode 13, the API call would be unicode::v13::script(...) with the main namespace importing the latest version (i think libstdc++ is doing there exact same truck).
But i am absolutely fine in doing the fiddling myself. :)
Many thanks!
Because that fiddling might be more invasive.
What do you think?
Won't that increase binaries' size?
Just for note, there're some good C++17 Unicode libraries (IMO):

yes it will. it's also not a hard requirement to me personally. it was an idea that I thought might have made sense. My motivation here mainly (more presicly: exclusively) comes from some Terminal Emulator developers that think about improving Unicode support in terminals think they still need to support Unicode 8 behavior vs later behavior. Reason behind is that sometimes (at least once) the east asian width of a character has changed across the Unicode versions (specifically between version 8 and 9). I am not sure there is anything else really important that changed - also in later versions (that is important for TEs and their apps).
So if you ask me, i'm also fine in just having the latest version. :)
Thx also for the links of the other projects. I however doubt I'll drop this project here, but instead improve on it steadily (still much to add, such as BiDi support in order to support bidi languages in Contour some time in the future.)
i'm also fine in just having the latest version
So could I do PR? ;)

yes, please. :)
One last question, probably: with the updated 3rdparty libraries?

I think port https://github.com/jquast/ucs-detect to C++ can be useful in this library.

I don't know yet (i am on smartphone right now) but i will have a look at it. :)
