I suggest to use <https://www.unicode.org/Public/13.0.0/ucd/ReadMe.txt>
instead.  It would give 2020-03-06 as the date.  2021-03-10 is
definitely wrong, it should be 2020-03-10.

Perhaps it's time to move the *.txt files into their own directory and
also include <https://www.unicode.org/copyright.html> and
<https://www.unicode.org/license.html>.

Thanks,
Florian
