 # 傳承字形轉換器
  轉換中文文字至[傳承字形](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%88%8A%E5%AD%97%E5%BD%A2)（大致根據[《傳承字形檢校表》](https://github.com/ichitenfont/inheritedglyphs)標準），消除[新字形](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%96%B0%E5%AD%97%E5%BD%A2)、[香港](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B8%B8%E7%94%A8%E5%AD%97%E5%AD%97%E5%BD%A2%E8%A1%A8)及[臺灣](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%9C%8B%E5%AD%97%E6%A8%99%E6%BA%96%E5%AD%97%E9%AB%94)標準異體字，如該異體字於Unicode[分開編碼](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%AD%E6%97%A5%E9%9F%93%E7%B5%B1%E4%B8%80%E8%A1%A8%E6%84%8F%E6%96%87%E5%AD%97#%E8%AA%8D%E5%90%8C%E5%8E%9F%E5%89%87%E8%88%87%E5%8E%9F%E5%AD%97%E9%9B%86%E5%88%86%E9%9B%A2%E5%8E%9F%E5%89%87)。

+# inherited-glyphs-converter
+ Convert CJK text to their [inherited glyphs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiu_zixing) form (mostly follows [_List of Recommended Inherited Glyph Components_](https://github.com/ichitenfont/inheritedglyphs)), eliminating the [xin zixing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xin_zixing), [Hong Kong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Graphemes_of_Commonly-Used_Chinese_Characters) and [Taiwan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Form_of_National_Characters) standard variant if that character variant is [encoded seperately](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_Unified_Ideographs#CJK_Unified_Ideographs) on Unicode.
+ 
+ The converter will keep [Shinjitai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinjitai) and [simplified Chinese characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Chinese_characters) as much as possible.
