Add reference to Taiwan version. See Taiwan Ministry of Education's Cross-Strait Dictionary

Editor: There are various types of links between entries that we generally don't create.
These include links to
- synonyms
- antonyms
- Taiwanese equivalents
- mainland equivalents

We do include links to entries that provide additional information relevant to the definition.
e.g.
〥 〥 [wu3] /numeral 5 in Suzhou numeral system 蘇州碼子|苏州码子[Su1 zhou1 ma3 zi5]/

If we *were* to include a link to 鉲 in this entry it'd be formatted as
/californium (chemistry)/Taiwan equivalent: 鉲[ka3]/

In that case you could argue there should also be a link from 鉲 to 鐦.
And there are hundreds of other pairs of entries that could be so linked.

You can search for "Taiwan equivalent" and find about eight entries we created.

But after that little experiment, we pretty much dropped the idea.

It would be a bit like having an English dictionary that linked words like "janitor" (US) to "caretaker" (British),
which even dictionaries far better resourced than us don't do.
