5 years ago This could be tricky with searching. What does the search result display if you search for 人 as in the above example? This would require transforming each word while searching to check for any instance of the translated word plus still needing to match ai. Could potentially slow down searches by a lot with large dictionaries.
Later edit: In searches, I can add a "use orthography" checkbox to toggle searching the orthographic translation instead of the typed word. That way there's at least an option!
Assign each typed character to another specific orthographic character so using custom fonts could potentially be more useful.
For example, if
aiis specified as the trigger character for人, you Lexiconga would optionally replace all instances ofaiin the Word field with人(optionally, turned on/off in the settings). Paired with a custom font, you could set orthography to translate to a Unicode character you don't need and have the font display your conlang's writing instead.
