Displaying the full Unicode information was turned off by default,
because licence conditions of the Unicode data file prohibited adding
it to Emacs, so the user had to download the data file and point the
variable to the location of this file to be able to see the full
information from it.

But since now it is available in Emacs without the need to download it,
it makes sense to display its full Unicode information by default.
