I'd like to stick with yoji for this one. Given they're in some refs, I'm inclined to keep the forms with 之 visible.

A Twitter search for 「"傷弓之鳥" lang:ja」 pulls up more recent results than 「"傷弓の鳥" lang:ja」

By all rights I think these entries ought to have [yoji] tags. You can even find plenty of examples of yoji calligraphy on twitter featuring compounds with the 之 character.

If we want to include 之 forms in this and other words because they are listed like that in some yoji dictionaries but not the usual references, I think we should make all of them sK. But I don't think we need to include them at all unless they're actually common, I don't think being able to cross-reference between those specialized dictionaries should be a priority.

Since it's in jitenon and gakken's yoji dictionary, I think it would be useful to retain this surface form for cross referencing purposes.
