You misunderstood. 玉篇 was the name of an ancient Chinese character dictionary, and yes, that is already in CC-CEDICT. However, it can also mean any character dictionary in general, that's why I'm submitting it as a separate entry, since this meaning is not a proper name. Please see the HYDCD entry, the second meaning in particular:

玉篇【漢語大詞典】
1. 字書名。
南朝梁顧野王撰,凡三十卷。
《南史・齊豫章文獻王嶷傳》:「先是太學博士顧野王奉令撰《玉篇》,簡文嫌其書詳略未當,以愷(蕭愷)博學……使更與學士刪改。」
2. 泛指字書。
唐羅隱《昇平公主舊第》詩:「乘鳳仙人降此時,『玉篇』纔罷到文詞。」
金董解元《西廂記諸宮調》卷七:「文章全不會後,『玉篇』都記徹。」

Editor: It's not that he misunderstood. He just didn't find the evidence very compelling.

Just now, I Googled "個詞典" and found plenty of usage, such as
- 可以把多个词典放入不同分组中
- 两个词典都是商务出版社出版的
But there appears to be zero usage of "個玉篇".
Have you come across usage where 玉篇 means 'any character dictionary in general', outside of the HYDCD entry?
