PHONETIC_ENCODING_JAPANESE_YOMIGANA
value: 3
For reading-to-pron conversion to work well, the pronunciation field
should only contain Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana.
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
value: 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".
