Description

Hi, I like your blog post about Unicode, it's a great reference and refresher to share when these issues come up, so thank you!

In the post, you write about java.text.BreakIterator:
https://github.com/tonsky/tonsky.me/blob/6f086f3f97d9f70886b2b26ccd018338fabf9a4d/site/blog/unicode/index.md?plain=1#L302

As of Java 20, that's no longer the case ( https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8292387 / https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/9991 ). Would you mind updating the blog post?
