About scripts

In scripts/:

• uniqsort.py: Sorts rows in each TSV by word length, then by Unicode code points of each field.

• check.py: Checks if characters of each 音韻地位 in ambi.csv fully covers characters with that 地位 in chars.tsv.

  • ambi.csv: Lists characters with the same 音韻地位 by 小韻 (not exhaustive yet), which could possibly have different 音韻地位 in other data sources.

    Fields: 音韻地位, 小韻號 (can be + if it's not from 廣韻), 廣韻字頭 (and variants), 外字 (whose 音韻地位 follows the corresponding 小韻)

  • sort_ambi.py: Sorts rows in ambi.csv. Rows are grouped by 音韻地位 first. Then rows in each group are sorted by 小韻號, and groups are sorted by the smallest 小韻號 in each group.
