  • Although some dictionaries[1][5][6] list this separate reading with a distinct sense, other dictionaries[2][7][3][4] do not list any hanshu reading, and if they include the medical dissemination sense, they do so under the hanshu reading.[1]
  • The Microsoft IME for Japanese only recognizes the hashu reading for this kanji compound.
