The lualibs files are imported from context. context has dropped for quite some time the support for the unicode libary, and sets unicode = nil in lualibs-unicode.lua.

We are currently reenabling the library at every update manually, but would prefer to drop it too. But this is not possible as it breaks luatex-ja. Could luatex-ja be adapted to use the utf8 library instead?

I removed use of the unicode library (changed to utf in lualibs-unicode) in commits 524cadcd and 5f2ec211.

The issue seems not to be fixed. I just tested a new lualibs without the unicode library and the luatex-ja test crashed.

There is at least one dependency in ltj-inputbuf.lua which contains

require "unicode"

Oh, I'm sorry. This line should be simply removed, but if so the luatex binary causes a segfault... I'll look into this.
