Cangjians

Output filtering

Often when using libcangjie you will get lists of characters (for example, which characters correspond to the code “d*d” ?).

It is possible to filter these lists so you only get the characters you are interested in.

Once you include the cangjie.h header, you will be able to use the following filters:

• Use CANGJIE_FILTER_BIG5 if you are interested in the characters which are part of the Big 5 charset.
• Use CANGJIE_FILTER_HKSCS if you want the characters which are part of the Hong Kong Supplemental Character Set.
• Use CANGJIE_FILTER_PUNCTUATION to get the punctuation characters.
• Use CANGJIE_FILTER_CHINESE if you want all Chinese characters.
• Use CANGJIE_FILTER_ZHUYIN in order to get the characters part of Taiwan’s Zhuyin/Bopomofo alphabet.
• Use CANGJIE_FILTER_KANJI for the Japanese Kanji characters.
• Use CANGJIE_FILTER_KATAKANA and you’ll get the Japanese Katakana characters.
• Use CANGJIE_FILTER_HIRAGANA if the Japanese Hiragana matter to you.
• Finally, use CANGJIE_FILTER_SYMBOLS to get access to lots of miscellaneous symbols.

Note that these are bit flags. If you want more than one, just OR them together.

For example, if you want the Big 5 and HKSCS characters, use:

CANGJIE_FILTER_BIG5 | CANGJIE_FILTER_HKSCS
