can't be extended.
i think you'll find that it's well worth the time it

your first problem was whether japanese would have some sort of
new or unique problem with an alphabet given the absence of certain
syllables (like shi) from the language. the answer is, of course, no:
the language would fall into either of the two extant conventions for
dealing with the syllable:

that's a whole different problem, though.

lots of romance languages have exactly that characteristic, though
(maybe other languages, too). see C and G in italian. "ci" is simply
pronounced "correctly" as "chi".

Interesting. I used to think Korean, too, uses a syllabary. Turns out it's
expressed alphabetically. Expressing Japanese that way would create some
space for confusion as there are certain sounds that never combine with
certain other sounds, e.g.

anyway, the general idea is that it can compose kanji from strings of
hiragana. it's also been used for other languages (although my memory of
that says it was mostly for the transliteration function, rather than the
compositing function). is it possible to do something similar for the

Hello!
Some time ago I wrote for inferno an analog of kbmap with an extention -
a possibility to print complex symbols via sequences of more basic
symbols.
I use it for typing by the russian translit.
Here is a piece of file for my kbmap:
