The following text is found in UAX#44:

----

Most properties have a single value associated with each code point.
However, some properties may instead associate a set of multiple different
values with each code point. For example, the provisional kCantonese
property, which lists Cantonese pronunciations for unified CJK ideographs,
has values which consist of a set of zero or more romanized pronunciation
strings. Thus, the Unihan Database contains an entry:

U+342B	kCantonese	gun3 hung1 zung1

This line is to be interpreted as associating a set of three string values,
{“gun3”, “hung1", “zung1”} with the kCantonese property for U+342B.

However, since I believe Unicode 14.0, "kCantonese" has been modified to
only allow a single entry, so this text is no longer accurate.

If we'd like to stick with using a Unihan property to demonstrate, how
about "kVietnamese"? Here's a suggestion for an edit:

for U+6258.
