Resolves #392

Prepare Unicode Character Database 18.0.0 support in dev_tools/cpp_tools/process_unicode_names/main.cpp.

• Add support for algorithmic JURCHEN CHARACTER-<hex> names from the <Jurchen Character, First/Last> range (U+18E00..U+19191).
• Add support for algorithmic SMALL SEAL CHARACTER-<hex> names from the <Seal Character, First/Last> range (U+3D000..U+3FC3F).
• Pin documentation input URLs to UCD 18.0.0 and update the Hangul algorithm documentation link.

Both new ranges are present in Unicode 18.0.0 UnicodeData.txt. Previously, the generator silently ignored both ranges.

Verification

• Verified the UCD source range boundaries and the generated-name prefixes.

To regenerate the checked-in src/unicode_name_fsm.c in a separate follow-up, run the generator on the UCD 18.0.0 UnicodeData.txt and NameAliases.txt with arguments 18.0.0 2026-09-16. The currently checked-in table remains from Unicode 17.0.0.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Character-name processing recognizes Jurchen and Small Seal characters and generates names with their corresponding character-name prefixes.
  • Identifier validation now uses Unicode 18.0.0 character ranges, updating which characters are accepted in identifiers and at their start.

• Documentation

  • Unicode input sources and the Hangul name-generation reference now point to Unicode 18.0.0.
  • Documented generated naming ranges include Jurchen and Small Seal characters alongside CJK, Tangut, and Hangul.

Walkthrough

The name-generation tool now uses Unicode 18.0.0 references and handles Jurchen and Small Seal names. The identifier-character table updates its Unicode version and revises code-point classifications.

Changes: Unicode 18.0.0 Data Updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Unicode name generation updates dev_tools/cpp_tools/process_unicode_names/main.cpp	The tool documentation references Unicode 18.0.0 sources and the Unicode 18.0.0 core specification. The processor generates names for Jurchen Character and Seal Character ranges. The generated FSM array and size are declared extern const.
Unicode identifier-character ranges src/lexical.c	The table version changes to Unicode 18.0.0 (2026-08-07). Multiple code-point intervals are subdivided to revise UAX44 validity and exclusions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

• observed — dev_tools (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
• observed — src (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in dev_tools/cpp_tools/process_unicode_names/main.cpp: The documented UnicodeData.txt source changes from the latest UCD URL to the Unicode 18.0.0 URL.
• observed — Modified behavior in dev_tools/cpp_tools/process_unicode_names/main.cpp: The documentation adds Jurchen and Small Seal characters to the listed generated ranges, and pins the NameAliases.txt source to Unicode 18.0.0 instead of the latest UCD URL.
• observed — Modified behavior in dev_tools/cpp_tools/process_unicode_names/main.cpp: The documented Hangul character-name generation reference changes from the Unicode 15.1.0 PDF to the Unicode 18.0.0 core specification page.
• observed — Modified behavior in dev_tools/cpp_tools/process_unicode_names/main.cpp: process_data_file adds handling for Jurchen Character ranges, generating names with the JURCHEN CHARACTER- prefix, and Seal Character ranges, generating names with the SMALL SEAL CHARACTER- prefix.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Commit the regenerated Unicode 18.0.0 FSM.

Supported builds compile the checked-in src/unicode_name_fsm.c, which is still the Unicode 17.0.0 table. Therefore \N{JURCHEN CHARACTER-18E00} and \N{SMALL SEAL CHARACTER-3D000} can reach scan_named_unicode_char and produce ec_unicode_name_not_found.

Regenerate src/unicode_name_fsm.c with the updated tool and Unicode 18.0.0 inputs, then commit the generated file. Updating only process_unicode_names does not update supported builds.

Could that be done as part of this PR to avoid having things be out of sync?

I just turned Discussion #392 into issue #452.

A few changes are still needed:

1. There are still Unicode 17 bits left (see lexical.h line 5371 and lexical.c line 288).

2. This should have a test (something in the style of cwg/cwg2843).

3. We'll need a pending_changes/ entry to go with this.

4. I'd rebase and collapse the commits into one. Make the commit message a single line ending in [GH #452] (auto-checks are failing on this).
