Method Detail

getRadical

public static char getRadical(char ch)

What is the primary radical of this char?

Parameters:

ch - a Chinese character

Returns:

the primary radical (also a char) or '.' if char has no radical

getChars

public static java.util.Set getChars(char ch)

What are the Characters with this primary radical?

Parameters:

ch - a Chinese character, interpreted as a radical

Returns:

the Set of chars with this as primary radical

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
                 throws java.io.IOException

The main function reads a list of characters and outputs the list with corresponding radicals. If the input character is not Chinese or has no radical (like punctuation) the symbol '.' is output. The flag -infile specifies a file to read characters from. The -encoding flag can be used to specify the input encoding. Any other arguments on the command line will be interpreted as characters to translate.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
