  • the ‘phonetic characters’ shows the pronunciation.

extended use case

  • the ‘phonetic characters’ shows the other meaning in a story. it supports a reader to understand the story.
    • a stupid dogso cute dog

2. Proposed solution

for example:

There seems to be a library made for CommonMark that uses this syntax:
[漢字(かんじ)]
I think this is pretty cool, and I would also very like to see it implemented.
