On some you note "Unicode one is funny"; and yes, some
of the GIF's aren't good.  Look at the PDF charts instead,
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U4E00.pdf, which I think
have better glyph quality.  It also makes me wonder how
much one should trust the other GIFs there.  I, for one,
would prefer if you looked at the sample glyphs in 
10646-1:2000 itself, which I think are more reliable
(though still just samples).  There has been a decision
to make 10646 publically available, but that does not
seem to have been executed yet.

May I also suggest to say which one is "wrong" or "unreadable"
in your view (I hesitate to generalise). Often it is one of
the Chinese ones, but sometimes the "Korean" sample.
