<upd_detl>Hi, this entry states that 軽 is a noun meaning "light", but "light" as a noun means "illumination", which, as far as I understand it, is the wrong kind of "light".</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Yes, it's a rare JIS 0212 kanji which has nothing to do with 軽 except that it looks like the RHS. If people use it as an abbreviation in signs that's fine, but if it's to go in an entry it probably should be in a new one just covering sense 2 and giving context.</upd_detl>
