Hello, an entry for 々 does not exist on Kanji Koohii. I was extremely surprised at this at first, but after some research it's apparently more of a punctuation mark and does not exist in kanji dictionaries.

Regardless, would it not be nice to include it in Kanji Koohii to help people study? Wiktionary says that:

In Japanese, this mark is formally called 漢字返し (kanji-gaeshi, “kanji repeater”) or 同の字点 (dō no jiten, “same-character mark”). More casually, it is called noma since it looks like a combination of the katakana ノマ (noma), 繰り返し (kurikaeshi, “repeating”), 同じ (onaji, “same”), or 同じく (onajiku, “same”).

Same for 〆 and 乄.

These aren't really kanji, though. They're iteration marks that can be "learned" by reading about them. I mean, what kind of story would you even come up with for ? It wouldn't make sense to include it in Kanji Koohi, simply because it's not a kanji in the first place
