In Nippon: Japanese Utility Functions and Data

Description

A function to convert from Kasuji (Chinese/Japanese numerals) to arabic forms.

Usage

kansu2arabic(s)
kansuExample()

Arguments

s	A character vector composed of Kansu characters

Details

Some numeric data (e.g., year) in Japan is written with “Kansu” characters (or “Kansuji”) instead of using Arabic numeral systems. “Kansu” is the traditional Japanese numeral systems adopting Chinese characters. To make such traditional numerals manipulatable, kansu2arabic() convert them to safe numeric forms (i.e., Arabic numerals). The variant of “Kansu” characters for financial is also acceptable in kansu2arabic(), though the function dose not accept any other characters than “Kansu” characters.

kansuExample() merely generates an example of Kansu character vector in order to illustrate how kansu2arabic() works. This way is a detour to follow the rule of CRAN that prohibits to write non-ASCII characters in package source files.

Value

A numeric vector

Note

kansu2arabic() accepts only Kansu characters. Any other characters cause errors.
