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
}}
The content of this template is generated by Module:ja-kanji-readings.
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 (振り仮名) from okurigana (送り仮名). A trailing - indicates there are no okurigana:
ひかり-←光ひか-る←光る- 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.
