Usage notes
桔 was included as the simplified form of 橘 ( jú ) in the second round of simplification in 1977. The current standard in Mainland China, the Table of General Standard Chinese Characters (通用规范汉字表 ), does not mention that 桔 is a simplification of 橘 ( jú ) . A Dictionary of Current Chinese (现代汉语词典 ) and the Xinhua Dictionary (新华字典 ) list 桔 as a separate entry from 橘 ( jú ) (unlike other variants, which are usually put beside the main character in parentheses) and define 桔 as a common variant for 橘 ( jú ) , while Xiandai Hanyu Guifan Cidian (《现代汉语规范词典 》 ) proscribes the use of 桔 as the simplified form of 橘 ( jú ) .
In Cantonese, 桔 is generally used for gat1 , while 橘 is used for gwat1 .
