# Hanzilib

Hanzi 漢字 (Han characters) are used mainly in the Chinese language. The original repo (`cjklib`) has been dormant for more than a decade and was difficult to install for modern versions of Python. Hence, this fork is created as an attempt to port the entirety of (or most of) cjklib to modern Python.


> [!IMPORTANT]  
> **The current state of the project**: it is now *installable* and *usable* in modern Python
> 
> There are a lot of outdated functions and new functionalities/standards that are yet to be fixed.

`hanzilib` can be installed from PyPI

After installing, run `hzbuild` to build the database
