title: Update the version of the Unicode Standard that is being used by Python
body: <p>How can I check which version of the Unicode Standard is being used by Python? Does Python automatically use the latest version of the Unicode Standard? Do I need to update Python or a certain package to use the latest version of the Unicode Standard?</p>
  <p>For example, the latest version of the Unicode Standard, version 13.0, was released in March 2020, and is available in electronic format from the consortium's website. If I use Python 3.6.1 which was released on March 21 2017, can I benefit from all the updates that Unicode 13.0 brings?</p>
  <p>I know that Unicode is an international standard that all computers are supposed to abide by, but I am not sure how Python handles it. Thanks in advance!</p>
  <p>P.S. I talked about Python 3, I do not consider Python 2. The post is posted on October 21 2020.</p>
