There's a misunderstanding: I'm not actually talking about braille. We
are talking about descchar showing information about the unicode
character being displayed. I have said that unihan probably has useful
information, but I now realize that it only provides the english
meaning and mandarin/korean/japanese pronunciation, and you actually
already know the pronunciation since that's precisely what the braille
representation expresses. So Unihan is missing a piece of information
that you want: some text that describes the character itself, and that's
the bug which I'm talking about.

I wonder: of course it's not fine for chinese people who do not know
english, but wouldn't be the english description enough? (i.e. for
U+9000, "step back, retreat, withdraw", you can just grep kDefinition
Unihan.txt to get them all).
