扐 vs 朸

Could someone help me with these Han characters? The entries indicate they are variants of each other, but, other than the Unicode database, I can find no evidence that they are variants of the same character. None of my Han or Kanji dictionaries show this. The CEDICT and JEDICT dictionaries both show they are separate characters, with different meanings. The only vague similarity is in pronunciation. Japanese Wiktionary actually lists 扐 as a variant of 仂 (which I also think is wrong). Could someone help me take a look and help resolve this. I think Unicode is wrong on this one.

It wouldn't be the first time that Unicode is wrong. These are quite rare characters* and I see no evidence that they are variants of each other. Thus, delete the reference. ---> Tooironic 21:50, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

As a Japanese speaker, I can tell you they are highly rare in Japanese. Part of the extended JIS x 212 standard, but probably for continuity rather than any statement on usage.
