Looks OK to me (except for the typo on the last line), although I
wonder about the necessity for:
U+613F kSimplifiedVariant U+613F
Where a character can either traditionalify (what is the opposite of
simplify?) to another character or stay the same then it is useful to
have (e.g.):
U+613F kTraditionalVariant U+613F U+9858
But where a character does not change on simplification, is it not
redundant to give it a kSimplifiedVariant mapping to itself ? I note
that the following characters have kSimplifiedVariant mappings to
themself, all of which can either stay the same or change when
converted to traditional:
U+4F59 余
U+53F0 台
U+540E 后
U+5FD7 志
U+6781 极
U+8721 蜡
But there are other characters that fit this paradigm that do not have
kSimplifiedVariant mappings to themself, such as:
U+5E72 干
But maybe that is a reflection of this line:
U+5E72 kTraditionalVariant U+4E7E U+5E79
which I think should be:
U+5E72 kTraditionalVariant U+4E7E U+5E72 U+5E79
