In my idle time, I managed to plug a few holes in the Unihan.txt
'definition' field. I got definitions from the Giles Chinese
Dictionary.
Here's a list, I've scanned to U+6010. Numbers in parenthesis is the
Giles dictionary number. Entries with question marks I haven't got
the dictionary entries yet.
The following entries in the unihan.txt file had definition entries
that were '......' or '[not found in dictionary]', yet have entries
in the Giles Chinese Dictionary:
U+52E1 to seize by force; to plunder (9121)
U+5470 ?????? (12326)
U+579F ?????? (12844)
U+5898 A shore ; a bank ; an edge (1743)
U+596B vast ; profound ; deep (13848)
U+59C3 name of a woman ; correct deportment ; modest demeanor (688)
U+5AF3 irritable ; hasty (9162)
U+5BC9 a bird flying high (3976)
U+5CD3 name of a place, [U+5D4E|U+5400] or [U+5D4E|U+5937],

eastern astronomical station (5400)
U+5CF9 ?????? (12110)
U+5D36 A fabulous hill, said to have been ascended by a carp which

U+5DAC steep and irregular mountain peaks (5456)
U+5F7D to go to and fro (1977)
U+6010 simple ; stupid (6185)
The following Unicode were unknown in the definition section,
and were not in the Giles dictionary:
U+56AF
U+575C
U+5789
U+57E3
U+57E6
U+584E
U+586D
U+58E2
U+58E5
U+5A1A
U+5A84
U+5B05
U+5B96

U+5CB6
U+5CFA
U+5D90
U+5DAA
U+5E48
U+5E6F
U+5EB4
U+5ECD

Oh yeah: Among those entries that have _NO_ definition field (over
7000 entries), the Giles Dictionary seems to have about 1500+ or so.
