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
