Yes. In the case of kIRGHanyuDaZidian vs. kHanYu: the kHanYu data was
very carefully checked against a specific edition of the print
source, as is described in the documentation
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Unihan.html#kHanYu
And besides correcting errors, kHanYu is more complete than
kIRGHanyuDaZidian, because kHanYu records source-internal
unifications, which kIRGHanyuDaZidian completely glosses over.
