The link http://www.unicode.org/versions/latest/#Summary redirects to the summary section of the summary page of the latest version of the Unicode Standard. The current latest version is version 13.0.0 .

The last few versions of the page have had the following sort of Summary opening (latest standard)

This could be better than writing the number 110 thousand characters which is currently not true.

Change the number of code points from a specific number to a link to the latest standard that has a description of how many code points there are.
Changed the link to the Unicode Consortium Technical site as the original link went to the new non technical site.
