Unicode® ICU 74 updates to [Unicode 15.1](http://blog.unicode.org/2023/09/announcing-unicode-standard-version-151.html), and to [CLDR 44](https://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-44) locale data with various additions and corrections.
ICU 74 and CLDR 44 are major releases, including a new version of Unicode and major locale data improvements. They subsume the changes for the [ICU 73.2 and CLDR 43.1 maintenance releases](https://blog.unicode.org/2023/06/icu-732-cldr-431-released-gb18030.html).
Unicode 15.1 adds source code security mechanisms, improves line breaking for southeast Asian scripts, and adds important CJK unified ideographs.
CLDR 44 has added or improved data for a number of languages that have been newly added to ICU, and has improved measurement unit handling, conversion, and formatting.
ICU 74 implements these improvements, adds new C APIs for locale handling, adds a plug-in API for word segmentation, and switches the Java build system to Maven.
