Re: [edict-jmdict] Kanjidic and Unihan on/kun readings comparison

Yes, the differences are many.

The Unicode people don't regard their collection as being particularly

comprehensive or accurate. In fact they have a project sort-of under

way to clean it up and to use kana for the Japanese readings, but I

haven't seen much activity there. It would help if they had a

comment/edit feedback mechanism.

I've been working on a kanji information page recently, and I noticed there were some differences between the Unihan reading information and the kanjidic reading information. I've put together a script for comparing:

and the output of the comparison is here:

The number of differences is overwhelmingly large, so I have no particular plan to proceed any further.
