    Thanks. I should know better than to write email before coffee.

    I overlooked the 123 mapped to the Alphabet Block and 8 mapped to the Compatibility Block. 123+8 = 131 and the totals match.

    35 + 1651 + 511 + 2212 + 278 = 4687.

    HKSCS 1999 has 4,702 characters, and HKSCS 2001 adds 116, for a total of
    4818. I believe the that 131 unaccounted for in your decomposition are
    in the "mapped elsewhere" pile, which should be 409.

    Eric.
