The Rest Of the SVG Files #97

Hello Fellow Devs,

I was skimming around for an english SVG drawing library. I found your repo and thought maybe I could reverse eng the svg process for english. Anyways thats when I went into the ./svg forder realized that I recognized the file numbering convention right away. This is because I am almost 100% sure that your team used a website called Character Pop [https://characterpop.com/]. You noticed, as did I, that they had beautiful svg file on their website. The only right thing to do would be to create a scraping script that would download all the SVG's stored on their website due to their un-unique file naming system. I proved my hypothesis when I compared my file #20506 to yours. It was a perfect match. Anyways the summary of the this story is I scraped an additional 4000+ SVG files then your team has offered in your repo. I am including them in this Issue as well as my source code.

Hello,

Many websites use makeahanzi files. The files at https://characterpop.com probably come from the makemeahanzi project.
