Class PhoneticEncoding (2.27.0) 

PhoneticEncoding(value)

The phonetic encoding of the phrase.

    The pronunciation can also contain pitch accents. The start
    of a pitch phrase is specified with `^` and the down-pitch
    position is specified with `!`, for example:

    ::

        phrase:端  pronunciation:^はし
        phrase:箸  pronunciation:^は!し
        phrase:橋  pronunciation:^はし!

    We currently only support the Tokyo dialect, which allows at
    most one down-pitch per phrase (i.e. at most one `!`
    between `^`).
PHONETIC_ENCODING_PINYIN (4):
    Used to specify pronunciations for Mandarin
    words. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin.

    For example: 朝阳, the pronunciation is "chao2
    yang2". The number represents the tone, and
    there is a space between syllables. Neutral
    tones are represented by 5, for example 孩子 "hai2
    zi5".
