Limits and verification
Polyphonic Chinese characters (characters with multiple contextual pronunciations, such as '行' as xíng or háng) use the most common frequency reading unless disambiguated by multi-character compound phrases in the dictionary.
Examples demonstrate an expected workflow; they do not prove every input or every branch of an external specification. Check important results with an independent source before using them for money, security, compliance, safety, or irreversible file changes.
