Module:ja-kanji-readings

Use this template on Japanese single-kanji entries to indicate the kanji readings and to add the character to the appropriate category. It is placed in the ===Kanji=== section, under the ====Readings==== header:

{{ja-readings
|goon=
|kanon=
|soon=
|toon=
|kanyoon=
|on=
|kun=
|nanori=
}}

On readings are written with hiragana, as the corresponding entries are in hiragana.

E.g. for 光:

{{ja-readings
|goon=こう<くわう
|kanon=こう<くわう
|kun=ひかり-, ひか-る
|nanori=あき, あきら, こう, てる, ひこ, み, みつ
}}

Go-on: こう (kō, Jōyō)^{←くわう (kwau, historical)}
Kan-on: こう (kō, Jōyō)^{←くわう (kwau, historical)}
Kun: ひかり (hikari, 光, Jōyō)、ひかる (hikaru, 光る, Jōyō)
Nanori: あき (aki)、あきら (akira)、こう (kō)、てる (teru)、ひこ (hiko)、み (mi)、みつ (mitsu)

The content of this template is generated by Module:ja-kanji-readings.

Format

The module accepts readings that are formatted in the following manner:

Items are delimited by commas (,).
< (arrow) indicates evolution from older forms (i.e. historical kana orthography). For example, こう<くわう. It is possible to add an additional form that is even older: 況 evolved as きょう<きやう<くゐやう.
- It is perfectly fine for the historical kana orthography to be identical to the modern kana orthography. For example, 服 ふく<ふく.
- (hyphen) separates furigana (振(ふ)り仮名(がな)) from okurigana (送(おく)り仮名(がな)). A trailing - indicates there are no okurigana:
- ひかり-←光(ひかり)
- ひか-る←光(ひか)る
- If you are unsure, it can be omitted, and the entry will be added to a category.
Readings are automatically highlighted and labeled if they appear in the jōyō kanji list. The data for this functionality is hosted at Module:ja/data/jouyou-yomi.
