I'm not 100% sure but thought it was. The original forum-post where
the author of iKanji Touch wrote about was unfortunately lost when he
moved to another forum. Sadly the communication is rather slow.
I am using "Langenscheidts Handbuch und Lexikon der japanischen
Sprache" which is by Wolfgang Hadamitzky and it has the same "error".
Guess I should write Wolfgang Hadamitzky a mail and should ask about
it.
