It's a font/glyph issue. The kanji with the JIS codepoint 57-91
(UCS 64a5) has a simpler form that pops up from time to time. I
normally see the one with 發 to the right, but if I switch to a
kterm window using 24x24 fonts (which is an older file), I get the
one with 発 on the right. A lot of the blame goes to the now
deprecated JIS X 9051-1984 standard for bit-mapped fonts.

濾 is an 18-stroke kanji which sometimes appears in a 7-stroke
form. Try it in emacs.

Yes. It shows as サンズイ+戸.

See the note at the bottom on Appendix E of the KANJIDIC docs:

Thanks for the detailed explanation ! So it is what we would call a
historical accident :). Should I consider the font that my emacs uses
as broken (and report the mistake)?
