  • Further background of character system.

    There are two main kind of character systems.

    1. Phenogram
    2. Ideogram

    Phenogram is like Latin characters (Europian), Hangul characters (Korean), and Kana (Japanese). This characters represent how to read the characters.

    On the other hand, there is Ideogram. The characters represent means, and how to read is depends on era, place, and so on. Chinese characters are one of them.

    Therefore when you see a Chinese character, you know what it means, but, you sometimes do not know how to pronounce it. You can read (understand) by heart, but you can not read (pronounce) it. It is like Arabic number. For example: `1'. This is pronounced: English `one', Deutsch `eins', Japanese `ichi/hii', Korean `iru/hana' and so on. Many of people understand this number, but pronunciation is depends on language. This is the meaning of ``you can understand, but can not read.''

    Historically, most of characters starts with Ideogram, like a picture. I think the reason is the concept of ``symbol of sounds'' is a more abstract.

• 例.
  • If you want to add how to read in yur text, like 1/2 -> 1/2(half), mark this `1/2' and call addruby-add-ruby-replace-command function. You only need to input how to read, rest of the same strings are `query-replace'd.
  • テキスト中の全て「姉妹」に「しまい」 というふりがなをふりたい場合， 「姉妹」を emacs の region で囲み， addruby-add-ruby-replace-command を呼び出して下さい．読みを入れるだけで， 姉妹 -> 姉妹(しまい) の置換コマンドを生成し，実行します．
  • addruby-*-text を設定することで，様々なカスタマイ ズができます．たとえば，TeX の ruby コマンドを使ってルビを ふりたい場合，

      (setq addruby-prefix-from-text "\\ruby{")
      (setq addruby-postfix-from-text "}")
      (setq addruby-prefix-to-text "{")
      (setq addruby-postfix-to-text "}")
    	  

    とすると，

    	  姉妹 -> \ruby{姉妹}{しまい}
    	  

    のように変換します．
