hanjaq 0.0.4

This Python package can be used to get information about Hanja characters:

• the possible meanings of a Hanja character
• the possible Hangul representations of a Hanja character

Features

Import and use the function get_hanja_information() to retrieve information about a Hanja character. This function returns a tuple that contains the possible Hangul representation(s) of a Hanja character, and the meaning(s) of the Hanja character.

>>> from hanjaq import get_hanja_information
>>> get_hanja_information("字")
(["자"], "character, letter")

Not all Hanja characters are currently supported, only the 1800 most common ones. A tuple with an empty list and an empty string is returned if the Hanja character is not recognized.

>>> from hanjaq import get_hanja_information
>>> get_hanja_information("譎")
([], "")

Install

You can install this package using pip:

$ pip install --user hanjaq
