• Note that Japanese shinjitai replaces 鄉 with 郷, dropping the top stroke on 良 and instead drawing 艮.
• The Korean form replaces 鄉 with 鄕, with 皀 in the middle instead of 良.
• Due to Han unification, Chinese, Japanese and Korean forms are encoded under the same code point.
• Two unicode z-variants exist. U+FA69 corresponds to its Kangxi Dictionary form, which is also the kyūjitai form while U+FACA corresponds to its shinjitai form.
