Description

Detailed description

Today, some Thai characters are missing from Thai keybord. I think we can save there characters by adding Thai character name dictionary to PyThaiNLP.

Ideas:

thai_dictionary = {
"ยามักการ": "◌๎",
"ทัณฑฆาต": "◌์",
"โคมูตร": "๛",
...
}

Possible implementation

Add this to pythainlp.util
