title: 'hanyupinyin: Convert Chinese Characters into Hanyu Pinyin'
version: 0.1.3
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.hanyupinyin
abstract: Convert Chinese characters into Hanyu Pinyin (the official romanization
  system for Standard Chinese) with support for tones, toneless output, initials,
  URL slugs, and valid R variable names. The package was inspired by the now-orphaned
  CRAN package 'pinyin' (archived in April 2026 after the maintainer became unreachable).
  'hanyupinyin' is a ground-up rewrite using the authoritative Unicode Unihan database,
  a vectorized engine, and modern R practices. Dictionary data are derived from the
  Unicode Unihan Database (Unicode Consortium, 2025) <https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr38/>.
