  Comments:
Only the usual suspects have 伏せ字 sans-okurigana (新明解, 日国, 岩国) but it 
gets more ngrams. Also it's the first form on wikipedia and is the form used on 
that website I linked dedicated to the topic

btw you can watch people's searches in real time, which is rather entertaining

  Comments:
existing sense-splitting is questionable.  blank belongs with circle, x, asterisk, etc.
