rime-kana_zaonhegho

Refer to the PDF document KanaZaonhe.pdf for details of this orthography.

Because Shanghainese employs a wider set of phonemes than that Kana is designed for, some extensions to Kana are used.

• combinations of glyphs of fairly common code points supported by most fonts (e.g. サ゚). This WILL be rendered correctly with the ccmp feature turned on with most Japanese Pro(N) fonts.
• however some other are not included in most fonts (e.g. small katakana we U+1B165).

Two strategies provided to display all glyphs used:

• use the font provided (Zaonhe-CL-Light-subset.ttf), which is an extension of Genyog, an open source font based on Source Han Sans. Currently I've only created a Light weight for my personal use on Nyoeghau.com.
  • Digression: Several common Shanghainese/Wu ideographs are appended as well. The complete list: U+2BE3B ⿰弗要, U+277F0 ⿰勿要, U+23350 ⿰勿會, U+20C8E ⿰口伐. I recommend inputting them with my Shanghainese Input Method (README in Mandarin). This production of this schema itself involved my hentaigana input method (README in English).
• use the opencc feature (already integrated. find it under menu) which by default converts small we, wo, nn to small e, o and large nn.
