Sorry, I did not notice this review request earlier.

I have to reject addition of new fields for now, because this will break distributions that update the data file separately from the library code. There is unfortunately no version number information in the data file to be able to handle additions (or reject the file). In worst case, the code can simply crash when mixing incompatible versions.

The current vision that I am working on is:
- new data format that allows us to include missing blocks, e.g. the CJK Extension B-F and ancient scripts
- split the data files into multiple files, e.g. one for Unihan data, one for ancient scripts, one for ConScript etc.
- allow selection of Unihan code points ordered by KangXi radicals and stroke count (kRSUnicode field)
- filter by kIICore or other useful properties

If you have additional ideas which other k* fields from Unihan.txt for CJK languages are useful to be included in KCharSelect, your input is welcome either on kde-utils-devel list, or on kde-frameworks list.
