okay bestie, so this is makeedict — a lil utility program from the General Commands Manual that lets you generate your very own "edict" style dictionaries. yes, YOUR own. main character energy fr fr 👑

✨ NAME ✨

makeedict — utility program for generating your own "edict" style dictionaries 💖

🎀 USAGE 🎀

no cap, the way you run it is literally this:

makeedict OUTPUTFILE < inputfile

that's it. that's the whole vibe. < feeding your input file in, and OUTPUTFILE catching whatever falls out the other side ✨

🦋 input format 🦋

okay so here's the tea, makeedict expects this:

• one line JIS encoding of up to two characters, in hex, with spaces between the two, if you have two characters 🌸
• one line english translation 📝
• [repeat until done] 🔁

and then — plot twist — it outputs in edict format. iconic. 💅

ngl bestie, mind the spacing on those hex lines. if you've got two characters, they want a space between them. no space, no slay. 🫶
