That works for those that have a character set source mapping (e.g., T- sources for higher CNS 11643 planes) or dictionary source page and serial number mappings (e.g., kHanyuDaZidian field), but what do we do about those that don't? For example, although I own a copy of the _Ci Hai_ dictionary (G-CH source), I can't tell which character in it that U+206C5 is meant to be. (No doubt this can be resolved with more cross-references, although that still leaves the problem of non-dictionary sources such as G-FZ/FZ_BK and G-4K.) Also, there's no way I can determine what U+20850 is, as it doesn't come from a real character set (K-4 source). Thomas Chan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
