ReadingsEdit

• Goon: しょう (shō, Jōyō)^{←せう (seu, historical)}
• Kan’on: しょう (shō, Jōyō)^{←せう (seu, historical)}
• Kun: みことのり (mikotonori, 詔, Jōyō); つげる (tsugeru, 詔げる)
• Nanori: さとし (satoshi)

Usage notesEdit

This is one of only three everyday kanji with a 5 morae reading, and one of only two nouns, namely 詔 (みことのり) (mikotonori). The only other kanji with a 5 morae reading are 承, in the verb 承 (うけたまわ)る (uketamawaru), and 志 (こころざし) (kokorozashi), and no everyday kanji have a 6 or more morae reading.

The unusually long reading is due to it representing a triple compound word, analyzed as 御 (み)言 (こと)宣 (のり) (mikotonori), yielding 1+2+2=5.
