Since we're on the subject, I'd like to take the time to mention UNIHAN, and also an effort I've created to make historical / regional variants of CJK characters more easily accessible. UNIHAN is Unicode's Han Unification effort. It handles the variant issue - but actually also goes a step further, citing information from paper books, including stroke information, definitions, and even pronunciations [1]. I've compiled a overview of UNIHAN at https://unihan-etl.git-pull.com/en/latest/unihan.html. unihan-etl is a project I've created that allows extracting the contents' of UNIHAN's database: https://unihan-etl.git-pull.com. It can be used as a Python library, or a self-serve export of the database to a tabular or structured format.

We cover some of the Chinese Classics. In the coming years, I intend to redo wengu in sphinx-doc + reStructuredText and make them available in a updated website and generated PDF's. There may be some copyright issues with Wilhelm's Yi Jing translation, though. I think there's still a few years left. I also am creating a spiritual successor to Christoph Burgmer's cjklib (https://github.com/cburgmer/cjklib). It's called cihai, you can find it at https://cihai.git-pull.com.
