I think it's fine to use rK when there's only one kanji form (we've done it plenty of times already).
I was just wondering if use of 躑躅 was was more common (proportionally) than the n-grams suggest. The ratio of tweets containing 躑躅 to tweets containing つつじ was about 1:7, but I realise I forgot to check ツツジ, which is significantly more common than either of them. Happy to add rK back in.

I think tagging little used kanji with rK has many benefits, not just relating to entries with more than 1 kanji surface form. For example, we're telling people using jmdict to make flash cards etc. that they don't need to bother remembering the kanji form because it's not commonly used/understood.

  Comments:
True, but I was thinking of the use of rK in the the context of there being several kanji forms, none of which warranted iK or oK tags. In this "uk" case it's less useful.

Didn't we agree we'd look at percentages rather than absolute numbers? I checked with a native informer in her 30s and she had no idea what the kanji read or meant.
