The description of the <char> element includes the following example:


<char xml:id="circledU4EBA">
<charName>CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH 4EBA</charName>
<charProp>
<unicodeName>character-decomposition-mapping</unicodeName>
<value>circle</value>
</charProp>
<charProp>
<localName>daikanwa</localName>
<value>36</value>is a standard mapping why is it using a <g> element? 
What's wrong with just using
</charProp>
<mapping type="standard">
<g ref="#U4EBA">人</g>
</mapping>
</char>

I am puzzled by the <g> within the <mapping>. If this is a standard 
mapping why is it using a <g> element? What's wrong with just using the 
character, or an NCR like this?

<mapping type="standard">
&#x4EBA;
</mapping>
