description-3
Description
The position of this character in the Dae Jaweon (Korean) dictionary used in the four-dictionary sorting algorithm. The position is in the form “page.position” with the final digit in the position being “0” for characters actually in the dictionary and “1” for characters not found in the dictionary and assigned a “virtual” position in the dictionary.
Thus, “1187.060” indicates the sixth character on page 1187. A character not in this dictionary but assigned a position between the 6th and 7th characters on page 1187 for sorting purposes would have the code “1187.061”
The edition used is the first edition, published in Seoul by Samseong Publishing Co., Ltd., 1988.

Description
The position of this character in the Hànyǔ Dà Zìdiǎn (HDZ) Chinese character dictionary (bibliographic information below).
The character references are given in the form “ABCDE.XYZ”, in which: “A” is the volume number [1..8]; “BCDE” is the zero-padded page number [0001..4809]; “XY” is the zero-padded number of the character on the page [01..32]; “Z” is “0” for a character actually in the dictionary, and greater than 0 for a character assigned a “virtual” position in the dictionary. For example, 53024.060 indicates an actual HDZ character, the 6th character on Page 3,024 of Volume 5 (i.e. 籉 [U+7C49]). Note that the Volume 8 “BCDE” references are in the range [0008..0044] inclusive, referring to the pagination of the “Appendix of Addendum” at the end of that volume (beginning after p. 5746).
The first character assigned a given virtual position has an index ending in 1; the second assigned the same virtual position has an index ending in 2; and so on.
