I'm studying kanji and just got to this character recently. Kanji dictionaries
all over the internet list "also N5116" as one of its meanings but what
exactly is that N5116? I tried googling it a bit but only found the same
dictionaries.

kanji dictionary
響: what is N5116?
I think that N5116 is a dictionary index for the "Classic Nelson", i.e. _The
Original Modern Reader's Japanese–English Character Dictionary: Classic
Edition_ by Andrew Nelson, so that N5116 means "character 5116 in the Classic
Nelson".

The actual _kanji_ 響 [seems to be 5114 in this
dictionary](http://jisho.org/search/%E9%9F%BF%20%23kanji) (i.e. N5114 in the
notation used above) and I'm guessing that N5116 is a variant of the same
character. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the Classic Nelson to check
what variant that would be...

In any case, I think "also N5116" is an annotation to the _kanji_ 響, meaning
that 響 can also be written in some other way, and somewhere during database
crunching got listed as a meaning, which it is not.

As mentioned by Earthliŋ, these are indices in the Classic Nelson kanji
dictionary. A [quick search](http://rut.org/cgi-
bin/j-e/jis/nocolor/dokanji?index=t&ivalue=3a39%7C3641&) tells us that N5114
corresponds to the index N6610 in the _New Nelson_ dictionary. Here's an image
from my New Nelson dictionary. N5116 presumably corresponds to N6612 then.

When I look for pages that mention this, it looks like they're using outdated
versions of [kanjidic](http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/kanjidic.html)...
