# 2. There is an uncertainty in the mapping of the Big Five character

-# for bopomofo and is intended to be the tone mark for the first tone in
-# Mandarin Chinese. We have selected the mapping U+02C9 MODIFIER LETTER
-# MACRON (Mandarin Chinese first tone) to reflect this semantic.
-# However, because bopomofo uses the absense of a tone mark to indicate
