<tibid> Taejo: U+9AAC is CJK Unified Ideograph-9Aac (骬), a letter with left-to-right directionality
"CJK Unified Ideograph-9AAC" would be better.

<Taejo> tibid: unicode 日
<tibid> Taejo: '日' is CJK Unified Ideograph-65E5 (U+65E5), a letter with left-to-right directionality
The names of Han characters aren't very useful in telling you what character you're working with. Something like this might be better:
'日' is CJK Unified Ideograph-65E5 (U+65E5), a letter with left-to-right directionality, meaning "sun; day; daytime". Readings: rì (Pinyin), il/일 (Korean), nichi or jitsu (Japanese On) or hi, ka or hibi (Japanese Kun).
The Unihan database also contains variant characters (incl. simplified/ traditional) and pronunciations in Vietnamese, Cantonese and reconstructed Tang. These are probably less useful (but if anyone wants them, they can shout)
