Title: 16 UniHan.txt errors
Date: August 24, 2003

This document is an FYI, regarding the HDZ (Hanyu Da Zidian) UniHan.txt data.

There are 8 errors in the kHanYu mappings across the 1014..1015 page
break. The exact same errors occur in both kHanYu and in
kIRGHanyuDaZidian, which partly explains why I didn't catch them before.
This is pretty clear evidence that the IRG and Academia Sinica HDZ data
(see the kHanYu header) derive from a common source, at least for these
pages. The kHanYu errors have been fixed in my copy of the data, and
this update will be provided to Mr. Jenkins for Unihan.txt as soon as
the current round of proofing of kHanYu is completed. The correct
kHanYu references for the two pages 1014..1015 are as follows:

[U+5B64] : 21014.010
[U+5B62] : 21014.020
[U+5B66] : 21014.030
[U+5B60] : 21014.040
[U+5B65] : 21014.050
[U+21957] : 21015.010
[U+5B61] : 21015.020
[U+3740] : 21015.030
[U+21958] : 21015.040
[U+5B67] : 21015.041
[U+2194E] : 21015.050
[U+2194F] : 21015.060
[U+2195B] : 21015.070
[U+2195E] : 21015.080
[U+3741] : 21015.090
[U+5B6A] : 21015.100
[U+5B69] : 21015.110
[U+2195C] : 21015.120
[U+21967] : 21015.130
[U+21966] : 21015.140
[U+5B68] : 21015.150

Asynchrony between the kIRGHanyuDaZidian and the kHanYu fields of
Unihan.txt continues to grow, with the kHanYu field (56,097 records)
being by far the more correct of the two (relative to the source text).
