Package Exports

yitizi

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (yitizi) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Design

To reduce data redundancy, only the orthodox-character-to-variant-characters mapping is stored in yitizi.csv:

The actual dictionary used by the library is yitizi.json, which is generated by the script build/main.py from yitizi.csv:

Rule 1: If specified in yitizi.csv, that A is an orthodox character, and B is its variant character, then:

A is variant character of B in yitizi.json
B is variant character of A in yitizi.json

Rule 2: If specified in yitizi.csv, that A is an orthodox character, and B₁, B₂ are two of its variant characters, then:

B₁ is variant character of B₂ in yitizi.json

For example, if we specify the following relationship in yitizi.csv:

The generated yitizi.json would be:
