One way to address this is to combine them onto a single entry as follows: 

Kana (Hiragana and Katakana) kana 

Another way is to add the above as a new entry, which allows the "kana" script tag to be found in all three ways: Hiragana, Kana, and Katakana. 

The first one seems simpler, and should not cause confusion.
