Reading boundary
On, kun, and nanori fields describe the character. Complete names retain their own full readings; compound readings are never split into unsupported per-character claims.
Legal and meaning boundary
Character eligibility does not approve a proposed reading or complete registration. Dictionary glosses are not fixed whole-name translations or statements of bearer intention.
