This repository implements a Rime input method plugin for Japanese text input using pinyin (Chinese phonetic) input. It combines a base pinyin input method with Japanese-specific dictionaries and conversion tools to allow users to type Japanese using familiar pinyin keystrokes. The system handles kana input via the Japanese Poly Nano dictionary, Kanji conversion through OpenCC character mapping, and provides switches for toggling between character sets (hiragana, katakana, simplified/traditional Chinese). The architecture follows Rime's standard plugin structure with schema files defining behavior, dictionaries containing word mappings, Lua scripts for filtering, and OpenCC configurations for character conversion.
The LLM identified 1 files worth highlighting for reuse:
This Lua filter provides isolated character set filtering functionality for the Rime input method. It efficiently filters input candidates based on Unicode ranges for Japanese characters (hiragana and katakana blocks) according to engine options. The component demonstrates non-obvious skill in proper UTF-8 handling in Lua (using utf8.codes iterator) and implements a clean, self-contained pattern that could be extracted to other Rime projects needing script-specific filtering with minimal modification (just adjusting Unicode ranges).
