The input Pinyin alphabetic string is may include a symbol or numeral indicating an unknown portion of the Pinyin alphabetic string and the alphabetic string may include tone data. The Pinyin alphabetic string may also be input in the form of initials, each initial corresponding to a Chinese character.
