This program's data is sourced from the *Cantonese Pronunciation and Word Matching Database* (http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-can/) webpage developed by the Centre for Computing and Humanities at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. This webpage was originally very convenient and information-rich, compiled with reference to various documents.

Unfortunately, it's somewhat inconvenient to use on mobile devices, so this small program was developed for simple Cantonese pronunciation lookup.

Personally, the *Cantonese Pronunciation and Word Matching Database* is simply a tool for finding the pronunciation of unfamiliar characters, or for leisure and knowledge enhancement; it's not intended to promote a so-called "correct pronunciation" lifestyle.

The *Multifunctional Chinese Character Database* webpage launched by the Centre for Computing and Humanities at the Chinese University of Hong Kong now supports a mobile version, is very user-friendly, and offers a wealth of diverse information. I highly recommend using the web version directly.
