CommentIf I have not misunderstood the nature of the exchange, between you and "Name", on this headword, then Nelson has it at "685.7", with both the kanji and the reading as the above headword.

It does not seem to be a simple combination of 口角 & 力 (こうかく & りょく) in Nelson, but then you have commented adversely on the value of Nelson in the past so I make no further comment other than to say that if the Novice comes looking, it is good to have if on your site; if, of course, it is correct.

Current Entry緑十字 [りょくじゅうじ] /(n) the green cross symbolizing faith, liberty and truth/ (1820080)

ReferenceS&H Kanji Dictionary
CommentIn the listings for S&H Kanji index for 2a12.2 to 2a12.8 the character shown is offset by one. I believe this is due to the fact that unicode char 50ED and 50E3 are both listed in the dictionary under 2a12.2
