A bit confused, this one. There's an RFE for Japanese in the Translingual section, and the Japanese marks the character as a kokuji or "Japanese-only", making it very unlikely that there should even be a Translingual section in the first place. Can anyone can find non-Japanese use of this character? -- Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 18:17, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An explicitly Japanese-only creation, which another user insists should nonetheless have a Translingual section. Previously RFCed by User:Eirikr for that reason. - -sche (discuss) 16:30, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Zcreator alt -- Please see Talk:硴. If this character is actually used in any other language than Japanese, I'm happy to have a ==Translingual== section included. However, if this character is only used in Japanese, its usage is by definition not translingual. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 20:33, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
They're plenty of Chinese-only characters (e.g. Mainland-coined simplified characters), but nevertheless they all have a Translingual section. It provides radical, strokes and IDS data can not be found elsewhere.--Zcreator alt (talk) 20:39, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
^this. —Suzukaze-c 20:45, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Why not put that information in the Japanese section, though? - -sche (discuss) 21:48, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The data there is pretty "translingual" most of the time. —Suzukaze-c 23:25, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Does the indicated Cangjie input for this character actually work in a Chinese IME? That could be viewed as evidence of translinguality. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 23:45, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
