One can take advantage of the new Unicode release by downloading
the Unicode data file and customizing the variable
describe-char-unicodedata-file.

,----[ C-h v describe-char-unicodedata-file RET ]
| describe-char-unicodedata-file is a variable defined in `descr-text.el'.
| [...]

| Documentation:

| This is the UnicodeData.txt file from the Unicode Consortium, used for

| looked up from it.  This facility is mostly of use to people doing
| multilingual development.
|
| This is a fairly large file, not typically present on GNU systems.
| At the time of writing it is at the URL
| `http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt'.
|
| You can customize this variable.
