Tone difference from Unihan

試 is read si5 here; Unihan’s citation reading is si3. Same syllable, different tone across these source readings. CC-Canto also lists 試 si5 as its own entry.
局 is read guk2 here; Unihan’s citation reading is guk6. Same syllable, different tone across these source readings.

Computed by zimai: each syllable of the CC-Canto word reading is compared with Unihan 17.0.0 kCantonese for its character. The comparison does not say why a reading differs (a changed tone, 變音, a reading tied to one meaning, or a source variant).

Characters whose customary Unihan reading (kCantonese) is this syllable in each tone, chosen as in the tone atlas (2013 standard level, then the number of CC-CEDICT words they form), with CC-Canto 2017's meaning for that reading; a dash means no catalogue character has that reading. Checked syllables (-p, -t, -k) normally carry tones 1, 3 and 6. Character readings, not word readings; no frequency implied.
