This manuscript presents a comprehensive overview of text data encoded in Unicode, delineating the contents of two dictionaries from Japan's Heian period: Honzō Wamyō and Wamyō Ruijushō. Additionally, it includes an index of Japanese names transcribed into Katakana. The utilization of Unicode facilitates the preservation and dissemination of these historical linguistic resources, contributing significantly to scholarly endeavors in Japanese language studies. The encoded text data not only preserves the linguistic heritage encapsulated within these dictionaries but also opens avenues for further research in Japanese historical linguistics.
