Usage notes

Also used in some proper nouns, where 垅 may be used as a nonstandard simplified form. The first and second editions of Xiandai Hanyu Guifan Cidian ((deprecated template usage) 《现代汉语规范词典》) view the character '垅' as the simplified form of the character '壠／垅 (lǒng)' and as identical in meaning to the character '垄', referred to as the normative modern form. In the first edition, use of the character '垅' in the word '壟斷／垄断 (lǒngduàn)' is proscribed. The third edition does not include the character '垅' and states that the character '壠／垅 (lǒng)' is written as the character '垄' in modern normative usage.
