Tcl has had Unicode support for a very long time. If I remember right it was one of the first programming languages to support UTF-8 (outside of Plan 9 stuff). Wikipedia says 1999.
The new functionality brings Unicode normalization into the core language. This was previously available in an external library, tcllib.

The biggest thing for me is accessibility (screen reader) support in Tk.
There is also initial support for bidi/RTL and there is Unicode normalization in Tcl.
Sounds like a solid release.

These days, most of my Tcl work is (in) Expect. It's useful to be able to reach for actual code when a more simplistic string-response flow won't do.
