See  2685630: "Kodansha says 弁: 弁当の略"
  Comments:
I am putting this up for discussion. We have already:
弁(P);辯(oK) [べん] /(n) (1) speech/(n-suf) (2) dialect/
弁;辨(oK) [べん] /(n) (See 太政官,弁官) Oversight Department...
弁;瓣(oK) [べん] /(n) (1) petal/(2) valve/
They really can't be merged as in each case they derive from distinct kanji (辯, etc.) which have all simplified to 弁.
Do we want a 4th 弁/べん entry (this one doesn't really belong in any of the other 3), or do we do a messy merge, perhaps with those old kanji as comments?
