My guess is that the data feed used to have two related shares that became one through a split or other corporate action? And just nobody has bothered to apply

My guess is that the data feed used to have two related shares that became one through a split or other corporate action? And just nobody has bothered to apply a manual correction to remove the dupe.
Whatever the reason I suspect anyone reading that page wouldn't care - there's no incorrect data published after all (as the headline implies)

And just nobody has bothered to apply a manual correction to remove the dupe. The merge case seems unlikely, as no price would be published for the previous symbol. The multiple share class case seems also unlikely, as that is very seldomly used in Japan. Most likely the FT tried to create an index of the top 500 worldwide market caps, and got a primary listing of NTT on TSE duped with an ADR or dual listing in EU/US.
