David, I don't think there is a one-to-one correspondance between each =
Chinese
character and its Pinyin transliteration. One Chinese character should =
be mapped to one pinyin.
But one pinyin may be mapped to many Chinese character. Which Chinese =
character is mapped to for a given Pinyin depends on the context of =
where the Chinese character is used.
In Him,
Yiguang
