硇#Japanese

Listed in WWWJDIC (c.f. http://nihongo.monash.edu/cgi-bin/wwwjdic?1MMC%E7%A1%87), but I cannot find any evidence of use in Japanese. The purported Google hits that I looked into at google:"硇は" all appeared to be scannos. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 23:46, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

I can't imagine that a query for "硇は" would bring up anything since it's not a stand-alone word... Daijisen includes 硇砂 (oddly, a search for "硇砂" doesn't bring it up). —suzukaze (t・c) 04:07, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

This webpage appears to be a digitalization of an old book that mentions 硇砂. —suzukaze (t・c) 04:10, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you suzukaze. I should have searched for google:"硇" "は" instead.

It appears that this character only shows up in Japanese in the term 硇砂 (dōsha, “sal ammoniac, ammonium chloride”), which appears to be an obsolete synonym for modern 塩化アンモニウム (enka anmoniumu).

I haven't seen any evidence for the nyō reading listed in WWWJDIC and KANJIDIC (see also https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E7%A1%87). Can anyone tell, is this a dictionary-only reading? ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 21:38, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

The Daijisen has the readings dou, nou, as does the Character Dictionary for Reading Chinese. The Koseki Unified Character Information database has dou, nyou. Considering the phonetic, nyou seems to be a mistake. —Suzukaze-c (talk) 03:53, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
