Here's a link to the 'read me' file,

http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/ReadMe.txt

The database is in plain text at 25.1M and also available in ZIP format,
much smaller. It can be downloaded and used internally freely, but
may not be redistributed. It includes much useful information,
including the main radical number, the number of residual strokes
needed to draw the character, how to pronounce the character in
various languages, English definition, alternate mappings/encodings,
as well as the sourcing information you seek.

The data is fairly comprehensive, but, especially in the recent
extensions, not every field in every record has an entry.

Best regards,

James Kass.
