"Undefined" is displayed when the kanji form doesn't exist

Hello!

Thanks for the great work on this app. :)

When the word doesn't have a kanji reading the app displays "Undefined" (for example こそ https://jisho.org/word/%E3%81%93%E3%81%9D). It's a small issue but it would be nice to display the hiragana form only when it occurs!

It might look like a glitch if the kanji doesn't appear for some words. I don't like the 'undefined' either but it is a placeholder until I can think of something better. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

If there is hiragana, just show the hiragana again. Otherwise just show the katakana again.

I agree! It would be really nice. :)

Some words aren't any different in kanji than in hiragana. How would this way differentiate those words? I think replacing kanji with hiragana/katakana versions would make it more confusing.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.
If we look at the screenshot I posted at the beginning, the word こそ is never written in Kanji and it's only written in Hiragana. (https://jisho.org/word/%E3%81%93%E3%81%9D)
Displaying at the same time both hiragana and katakana for this word is quite confusing.

You should only display the Hiragana (or Katakana if it's relevant) version of the word when there is no Kanji available.
