Hello,

The character entered by typing "C-x 8 RET 794a" for µp is incapable 
of being entered using the chinese-ctlaub input method.

At the following website, the Sidney Lau "Cant. Scheme" has "Canton. 
Syllables" for typing in µp using

* bang
* paang

What is that \265 octal escape?  You use it in the URL below as well:

> => https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/search.php?word=µp 
> Multi-function Chinese Character Database

But I cannot use that in my Web browser, and suspect it is some
encoding problem when you composed the message.

We don't have the U+794A character in CTLau-b5.html, neither under
BANG nor in PAANG, which I suppose is why you cannot insert that
character.  If there is an updated version of that file or the
equivalent data somewhere, we could perhaps use it.

Thanks.

The mail from Van Ly used a very odd charset -- GB2312 -- so perhaps

That only works if you decode it with GB18030 instead of GB2312.

I don't think so: the encoding of the buffer was shown correctly, and
the decoding uses the usual Emacs primitives.

OK, but I don't understand what I see on that page.  And anyway, I
think the conclusion is the same: we don't have that character in the
file we use as the source for the chinese-ctlaub input method.

I use the Pine mail reader and in it I use Gnu Emacs as an 
alternative editor.  The layering of pico, emacs editors in the 
construction of the email may explain why the charset is what it is. 
I would expect it to be utf8.

Some fields on the database are presented in English by clicking on 
"ENG" where you find it on the left navigation menu if your web 
browser frame is wide enough.

There is a "Suggestions" link at the bottom of the webpage

=> https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/feedback.php 
Suggestions

Perhaps the Admin. there is willing to collaborate with the GNU Emacs 
Project and provide the needed file to keep chinese-ctlaub current 
with their wider repertoire of characters.

I did click on "ENG"; nothing happened.

Feel free to submit feedback to them.  Me, I'd be happy to know where
we can find an up-to-date version of the file from which we derived
the CTLau-b5.html file we keep in our repository and from which we
produce that input method.  If you know, or can find out, please tell.

Maybe you need to activate the Java/Javascript and retrieve an entry 
from the database to see a change with "ENG" shown in bold font.

I don't know.  My guess is CTLau-b5.html widen in use from Sidney
Lau's immediate circle.

Anyway, I entered the following message on the feedback page.  And the return e-mail address I used is

* GNU Emacs Project
* 54971@debbugs.gnu.org

'''

The input method chinese-ctlaub on GNU Emacs editor is incapable of entering the Chinese character 祊 without its CTLau-b5.html file having the more up-to-date version available from the entry such as

=> https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/search.php?word=祊    MfCC Database

There the "Cant. Scheme:Sidney Lau" for 祊 lists the "Canton. Syllables" as

* bang
* paang

Would the Admin. be willing to collaborate with the GNU Emacs Project to provide the needed file updates to keep the chinese-ctlaub input method current with your wider character repertoire?  Thanks in advance.

In the meantime, you can use the chinese-py-b5 input method, which is
capable of entering that character as "beng1".  Not that such a
character is likely to be used in real life by anyone.

[Your MUA's coding system is weird, so here is that character in
Unicode: 祊.]

The character "fa3" for hair  using chinese-py-b5 input method has the
same problem in chinese-ctlaub.  That character appears in line one at
position six  in a music  video that launched  5 years ago  on Youtube
attracting 250M  views.  The  song was performed  live at  nasa's 2019
break through prize ceremony introduced  by Pierce Brosnan.  The music
video's visual design aesthetics in circulation are thematically Tesla
font typesetting the word "passengers"  in capitals and the technology
is "light  years away" which  is a translation  of the song's  name by
G.E.M..

I've set  my mail reader,  Alpine, to emit  UTF-8, can you  see theses
characters in Unicode?

What problem do you refer to by "the same problem"?

chinese-ctlaub is unable to enter Chinese character.

CTLau-b5.html is in need of an update to at least catchup to what 
chinese-py-b5 uses.

chinese-py-b5 is able to enter two example characters chinese-ctlaub is unable to
* One example is an old character. "beng1"
* Another example is a character in circulation in pop culture. "fa3"

The humanum mfcc database has candidate values from its Sidney Lau 
scheme to fill in CTLau-b5.html gaps.

chinese-ctlaub is a Cantonese input method, and it isn't fair to expect
it to have every character that chinese-py has (and vice versa.)

chinese-py-b5 is a standard Chinese input method.  They input different
dialects of Chinese, which have different characters, pronunciations and
romanizations, so there is no way to update the chinese-ctlau(b) input
methods with the information used by any other Chinese input method.

Information in the tone and graph is lost going in the direction

   chinese-ctlaub || chinese-py-b5 > chinese-py

is how I understand things.

I don't understand what you're talking about, but chinese-ctlaub is not
related to chinese-py at all.  Comparing them is like comparing a Dutch
keyboard to a German one.
