(comment)	I first encountered this on page 11 of a japanese picture book called 銀河鉄道の夜, ISBN4-87576-713-7, where it was used by a school boy.

(comment)	This kanji seems to exist in two forms, and I have been able to find no recognition of this or explanation in any of a number of dictionaries I have looked at.  As it appears here and in my electronic dictionary, the lower right hand of the kanji contains a small "tsuki" (month) kanji.  In a number of other places, including my Nelson's and my Koujien, there is an "en" ("marui" or round) character instead. I have no idea what the reason for this is, and am curious.
