Design

As shown in the figure, the following information is stored in yitizi.csv:

This file is processed by build/main.py. The data in the file is converted into a graph.

Then, for each node in the graph, output the node and all its neighbor nodes. This becomes the final dictionary of the variant characters.

{ 正字: 異體字1, 異體字2,
  異體字1: 正字,
  異體字2: 正字
}

When using the library, the above dictionary is used to determine the variant characters of a given character.

Note for developers

You need to substitute all the occurrences of the version string when publishing a new release.
