I'm not sure 3% is that appropriate when there's just one kanji form.
Anyway, the key tag is the [uk].

3% is the absolute upper limit for rK. This was (incorrectly) tagged as rK last year without justification.

The [rK] is quite appropriate here. I think you are over-interpreting it.

3.2% is low as a percent, but 50,000 n-grams is not rare.  I think [uK] covers this? The wikipedia page is full of the kanji form

Twitter frequency can be measured in posts-per-hour (not rare)

I'm guessing that most Japanese adults probably have little problem reading this. I would usually interpret [rK] as a very rare kanji form with a more-common popular kanji form, or a form where kanji almost never appear. (ie. knowing the kanji form verges on useless, which seems not to be the case here).
