The following information was provided by the package's contributor.

Name of contribution: ucs Author's name: Wolfgang Jeltsch Package version: 2.1 Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ucs/ Summary description: Extended UTF-8 input encoding support for LaTeX License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

The bundle provides the ucs package, and utf8x.def, together with a large number of support files.

The utf8x.def definition file for use with inputenc covers a wider range of Unicode characters than does utf8.def in the LaTeX distribution. The package provides facilities for efficient use of its large sets of Unicode characters.

Glyph production may be controlled by various options, which permits use of non-ASCII characters when coding mathematical formulae.

Note that the bundle previously had an alias unicode; that alias has now been withdrawn, and no package of that name now exists.

The authors are Wolfgang Jeltsch and Dominique Unruh. The package is Copyright 2011,2012 Wolfgang Jeltsch.

Updates for this version: -- Added support for various arrows, musical notes and NON-BREAKING HYPHEN

-- minor bug fixes

thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository.
