You've lost me here. You mean the on-line Unihan database? If
Unihan.txt lists a Vietnamese source, then so should the on-line
database, since they're built on the same data. As for missing
readings, it's simply a matter of not having the data supplied to
Unicode by anybody and not having the resources internally to
generate it.
