Description

does sonic support pinyin? Because we are from China, Chinese users often use pinyin to search

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how Sonic tokenizes and indexes text. Add support for Pinyin by converting Chinese characters to their Pinyin representation before indexing and querying. Consider using a Rust library like 'pinyin' or 'zh utils'.
