The values for that are in the file Unihan/Unihan_DictionaryLikeData.txt in the Unicode Character Database. There you find the line: U+8303 kTotalStrokes 8 If that is in error, or if there is any other error in the kTotalStrokes data, then please report the correct value according to http://www.unicode.org/review/pri230/ so that it can be fixed. As a related matter, CLDR now gets the pinyin collation data from the kMandarin property. The values for that are in the file Unihan/Unihan_Readings.txt in the Unicode Character Database. So if any of those are in error, they should also be reported as per http://www.unicode.org/review/pri230/ . The beta data is in ftp://www.unicode.org/Public/6.2.0/ucd/.
