Going from the old .xml file to the .ucm file makes it difficult to
see the relevant changes. Also, there are nearly 1000 non-user-visible
changes like this in the output file that are not explained:
- /*** Three byte table, leaf: efa8xx - offset 0x07aba ***/
+ /*** Three byte table, leaf: efa8xx - offset 0x07b3a ***/
The 2000 version is available in the .ucm format, so maybe converting
to that first would be a good preparatory patch:
https://github.com/unicode-org/icu-data/blob/main/charset/data/ucm/gb-18030-2000.ucm
Looking at the history, it looks like that file has seen small
revisions, so it may take some research to get the exact equivalent to
the XML file we use. That will also tell us if anything will change
for us besides the actual 2022 revision.
