Unicode
The Unicode web site (www.unicode.org) allows you to download the latest character tables for free. Check it before you finalize a design because new ones are always in process.
The Nadine Kano book, "Developing International Software" which was used as key reference for Unicode, is out of print. It can still be obtained in a CD-ROM version as part of the Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN) subscription. Subscription information can be obtained at the MSDN web site (msdn.microsoft.com). Or it can be accessed for free online at the MSDN Library. The book can be found under "Books / Developing International Software".
To get the latest LANGID definitions go to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/intl/language-identifier-constants-and-strings. This page will change as new LANGIDs are added.
Note that the HID Primary LANGID (0x0FF) is not on the above list, however it is permanently reserved and will never be reassigned.
