The data file is valid. I just downloaded it and these are the first
three lines:
a 啊
a 阿
a 呵
The data file is in utf8 encoding. In order to read Chinese using vim,
I have the following settings on my .vimrc:
set enc=utf8
set gfn=Courier_New:h12:w7
set gfw=SimSun-18030,Arial_Unicode_MS
Yes, you are free to make your own data file. Actually, hundreds if
not thousands of "patents" were created on how to define the <key>
part of the mapping, among other things.
Welcome to the vim world of IME :))
