What is included

Every character has complete KANJIDIC fields, an official jōyō or jinmeiyō category, at least two reviewed entity links, field-level sources, and related kanji navigation.

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.
