What is the little 全 at the top right of the kanji in Jisho

In the Jisho app, occasionally I’ll see a term in its kanji form given with a 全 as a superscript in front of it. What is this supposed to mean? Occasionally there will be other notes as well (I think 音 was one of them)

  1. Don’t know in Japanese but 全 in Chinese means complete/total. 音 means sound

  2. Idk about 全, but ive seen 音 and 訓 being short for “onyomi” and “kunyomi” respectively

  4. 全 – full width character

    半 – half width character

    Is probably what you’re seeing
