#2A package to power GNU Emacs chinese-ctlaub input method with 100% font coverage is needed. I see TOFU in the browser and emacs, for example
* https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/shuowenRadica...
and there are graphs that can't be input by emacs chinese-ctlaub. Associating a cognitive complexity load score for each graph to guide learning would help.

#3Something's not clear here to me, how does this handle words with multiple pronounciations using a font alone?

As far as I know, Mandarin doesn't have multiple pronunciations for the same character-- does Cantonese? Aside of that, you could use ligatures for that, couldn't you?

Mandarin absolutely does:
* 行: xíng or háng
* 的: de or dì
* 长: cháng or zhǎng
(plus I'm sure many more that I can't think of just right now)

In Mandarin there are actually different pronunciation depending on context.
Example
觉得 juede, to think 睡觉 shuijiao, to sleep
Here the same character is pronounced jue or jiao depending on context

Maybe it uses font ligatures to change based on the surrounding characters.

Both Mandarin and Cantonese actually have multiple pronunciations for the same character. Here is an example in both:
- 说服/說服 Mandarin: shuì fú Cantonese: seoi3 fuk6
- 说话/說話 Mandarin: shuō huà Cantonese: syut3 waa6

Perhaps they use the same technology as ligatures? There could be a glyph for the standalone character, but also special glyphs for certain combos?
The page says they do handle variations:
Pronunciation in the Cantonese Font adapts to the context. Based on what comes before or after, the Jyutping romanization changes to the right one. The magic behind this is a careful curation from 100,000 contexts where the pronunciation differs from the standalone character.Re: Cantonese Font with Pronunciation

了 as le or liǎo, too.
