ALWAYS invoke this before stating any reading, meaning, or variant of a Chữ Nôm (喃) or Hán (漢) character. Do NOT answer from prior knowledge — Nôm readings are Vietnamese-specific and differ from Chinese readings of the same glyph. Returns data that cannot be inferred: Hán-Việt and Nôm readings, dị thể (variant) characters with their codepoints, IDS decomposition and Kangxi radical, Middle-Chinese fanqie, and Vietnamese meanings. Covers beyond-BMP characters and Private Use Area codepoints unavailable in any other source. Use for Vietnamese Hán Nôm. Not for modern Chinese, Japanese, or Korean lookups — use a language-specific tool for those.
