I think it's the db-engine again, but the first character of Yue Hoh Yan, 喩可欣, is not what you have on the db.
That's why you have that shot that's showing the right character?

The character 喩 is very rare and does not exist in our DB.
The HKFA has the same problem. They recommend replacing it with 俞 so that is what we have done.
Added the right one as alias.

Perhaps it will comfort you to know that, accoording to our etymological dictionairy, the character has changed. First it showed a boat and a river, then a moon and a river like this 喩 and finally a moon and a knife, like this 喻. But your replacement doen't has the mouth radical. Accoording to our other dictionairy 喻 and 俞 are both surnames.

You are right!
Changed, but also kept the aliases.

Thanks.
