Unihan's data is disperved across multiple files in the format of::

U+3400 kCantonese jau1
U+3400 kDefinition (same as U+4E18 丘) hillock or mound
U+3400 kMandarin qiū
U+3401 kCantonese tim2
U+3401 kDefinition to lick; to taste, a mat, bamboo bark
U+3401 kHanyuPinyin 10019.020:tiàn
U+3401 kMandarin tiàn

``unihan_tabular/process.py`` will download Unihan.zip and build all files into a
single tabular friendly format.

CSV (default output: ``./data/unihan.csv``)::

char,ucn,kCantonese,kDefinition,kHanyuPinyin,kMandarin
丘,U+3400,jau1,(same as U+4E18 丘) hillock or mound,,qiū
㐁,U+3401,tim2,"to lock; to taste, a mat, bamboo bark",10019.020:"tiàn,tiàn"

``process.py`` supports command line arguments. See `unihan_tabular/process.py CLI
arguments`_ for information on how you can specify custom columns, files,
download URL's and output destinations.

Being built against unit tests. See the `Travis Builds`_ and
