It's "Unicode Standard Annex #29" (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/).
It shows an algorithm to determine if there's a word
boundary between character C1 C2 by categorizing characterers
by "Word_Break" property and giving a set of rules checking
that property.
Emacs already has a similar mechanism by using two variables
word-separating-categories and word-combining-categories.
Please read the docstring of the latter variable.
