"Japanese" instead "Korean".

In the table Grade 3 of Gakush~u Kanji, the character at 17-91 (in JIS X

0208:1997) with OU as its sound, is missing and mistakingly perhaps, replaced
by the character at 41-55 with OTTO as its sound. Vice versa, in the table
Grade 4, 41-55 is missing and replaced by 17-91.

I am sorry to say that I could not find the primary source, but several
secondary sources suuport this. Here is one of them online:

You should know the shapes, but just in case:

(($y = &sjis2jis($x)) =~ tr/21-x7E/xA1-xFE/, $y) :

Should read:

(($y = &sjis2jis($x)) =~ tr/x21-x7E/xA1-xFE/, $y) :

(i.e. there should be an 'x' after the first backslash)
