If you want that kind of clarity, then either say:
- use MAJOR.MINOR where MINOR is only incremented for bugfix releases and
MAJOR is incremented for non-bugfix releases. I.e. the next release would
then be 22.1 and unicode would be 23.1.
- Use MAJOR.MIDDLE.MINOR where the difference is that some non-bugfix
releases are deemed non-major (e.g. the next one would then be 21.4.1 and
unicode would be 22.1.1).
