+To update to the newer version of the Unicode standard, the latest
+released version of the UCD can be found here:
+
+  http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/
+
+Then, build under fs/unicode/ with REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1:
+
+	make REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1 fs/unicode/
+
+After sanity checking the newly generated utf8data.h file (the
+version generated from the 12.1.0 UCD should be 4,109 lines long, and
+have a total size of 324k) and/or comparing it with the older version
+of utf8data.h_shipped, rename it to utf8data.h_shipped.
+
+If you are a kernel developer updating to a newer version of the
+Unicode Character Database, please update this README.utf8data file
+with the version of the UCD that was used, the md5sum and sha1sums of
+the *.txt files, before checking in the new versions of the utf8data.h
+and README.utf8data files.
