～ shows up with にょろ furigana/reading

[Morgawr]

I'm not entirely sure if this can/should be considered a mistake or not as it depends on the interpretation but I feel like it is a mistake or at least inconsistent with how we handle punctuation everywhere else.

To show you what I mean, take for example this sentence as it shows up in the yomitan sentence search page:

Yomitan adds furigana on top of any word it finds based on the dictionary entry (it is a bit hit or miss though).

Jmdict seems to have an "alternative" reading for ～ as [にょろ] (at least according to jisho's entry, I didn't check the actual jmdict file) and this is likely why it gets picked up by yomitan's furigana.

Other punctuation like 。 or 、 do not show up as まる or てん, but ～ shows up as にょろ. This to me feels a bit inconsistent.

Do you think this is useful/working as intended as is? Or should the にょろ reading be removed?

I don't like it either. I just submitted an edit to drop the symbols from the kanji fields of the entry. We'll see if the other JMdict editors agree.

We've settled on removing the "〜" symbols as kanji forms for にょろ. Next version of jitendex will just have にょろ as its own headword.
