Comments: | I can't see any problem with adding sK to the 如何 forms. Some may get rK instead of the kokugos have them. In WWWJDIC the kanji forms shunted back for uk entries. |

Comments: | Please see longer thoughts on どうしようもない. I cherry-picked this one additional entry to look at, and it's the only other one I will touch as part of this question. Question is: can we start using [sK] on 如何/どう entries (other than どう itself) that don't have exceptionally high occurrences of the kanji form (maybe a kotowaza or something might lean on old kanji, I don't know). Comment is: On any dictionary app that displays the first kanji form prominently (even with a [uk] marking), we have a lot of entries with 如何 displayed(jmdictdb's own advanced search results, and jisho.org are two examples). This seems to me like a kanji form that a learner at an appropriate level can internalize, and not have spelled out in every entry using どう. Conversely, it seems like a distraction for any non-advanced learner. |

Comments: | I don't think "somehow" "why" etc. are really correct. |
