Just follow the steps I listed above, and you can get what you are looking for.
They are traditional Chinese characters only, so you don't have to filter anything.
There are 14127 entries left, however, as the filename claimed, there are only 13053 different characters.
Thus, you have to sort and then remove the duplicates.

The resources gave by 水巷孑蠻 are also very good. 1. Download the zip file (dict_revised_2015_20160523.zip). 2. Open the first file (dict_revised_2015_20160523_1.xls). 3. The entries starting from C2 to C11934 are what you are looking for.
There are some pictorial characters and some duplicates.
Besides those, there are 9875 different characters,.

Hi hinen., maybe I should elaborate.  Now that we found the computer characters,  is it possible to get the hand written characters online?  I want to compare handwritten characters to the digital characters.  Any idea where I can find sample of handwritten Chinese characters online?  Thanks!

The hand written characters should be pictures.
It's not easy to find all the ten thousand pictures.
An alternative method is to use computer fonts which are in the hand written style.
The most common Chinese font is 明體, I think.
The most formal and common font is 楷體, which is in the hand written style.
If you have learned Chinese for a while, you should know these.

The (Taiwan) official font can be downloaded from [the official site](http://depart.moe.edu.tw/ed2400/News_Content.aspx?n=8940E5C0456177C3&sms=893AAA1CBFE149DE&s=DFBE7BE3EE0DB6AE).
If you like to compare one by one, [國學大師](http://www.guoxuedashi.com/zidian/) and [漢典](http://www.zdic.net/) can show the 楷體. 漢典 can even show the sequence of strokes.

What do you want them for? Do you want to include extremely obscure characters that most Chinese don't know at all (e.g. those in [CJK Unified Ideographs Extension E](http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2B820.pdf))? Do you want to include relatively well-known characters that aren't in Unicode, such as [biang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biangbiang_noodles#Chinese_character_for_bi.C3.A1ng)?

FYI, there are over 80,000 Chinese characters in Unicode, the great majority of them is traditional, but there are still some characters that aren't covered.

Actually I'm looking for just the standard traditional characters used nowadays in Hong Kong and Taiwan.  I've found them,  but I'm also looking for Chinese handwriting images to compare their accuracy to the text format,  any ideas of this?
