Well, as far as I understand, this was their original (and is still
their main) purpose.

Is it only me or did you get some of this data wrong?
For me, it looks definitely like
U-0002A8BC ⿰土化
rather than U-0002A8BC ⿰土无,
and U-0002A8BF ⿰土水
rather than U-0002A8BF ⿰土月,
and changes seem to be needed for all the others, too. (The descriptions
seem to be four lines later than the characters where they actually belong.)

Yes indeed.
