Value

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.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
x <-  kansuExample()
x
kansu2arabic(x)
# }
