In www.unicode.org https://www.unicode.org/Public/15.1.0/ucd/LineBreak.txt , the character range 20C1—20CF is included and marked as 'reserved': 20C1..20CF ; PR # Cn [15] <reserved-20C1>..<reserved-20CF> But in www.unicode.org https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U20A0.pdf those 15 reserved characters are missing entirely. Conversely, for U+1FB93, it is the other way around. In www.unicode.org https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1FB00.pdf it is marked as a reserved character, but in www.unicode.org https://www.unicode.org/Public/15.1.0/ucd/LineBreak.txt it is missing entirely. The inclusion of 'reserved' character ranges as if they were normal characters as well as the inconsistency of 'reserved' markings with the code charts is making it very difficult to determine the exact set of characters that is in Unicode and also very difficult to determine the exact set of 'reserved' characters as marked by code charts. In particular, www.unicode.org LineBreak.txt gives the impression that there are 211806 characters (excluding control characters, surrogates, and private use) in Unicode 15.1, which is vastly different from the official count of 149,813 characters as announced in www.unicode.org https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode15.1.0/ .
