That list already exists: there is a more descriptive field in Unicode, for instance for U+9000 it says: `Definition in English: step back, retreat, withdraw Mandarin Pronunciation: TUI4 Cantonese Pronunciation: teoi3 Japanese On Pronunciation: TAI TON Japanese Kun Pronunciation: SHIRIZOKU SHIRIZOKERU Tang Pronunciation: *tuə̀i Korean Pronunciation: THOY' Samuel _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
