<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<simpara>The unicharambigs file (a component of traineddata, see combine_tessdata(1) )
is used by Tesseract to represent possible ambiguities between characters,
or groups of characters.</simpara>
<simpara>The file contains a number of lines, laid out as follow:</simpara>
<literallayout class="monospaced">[num] &lt;TAB&gt; [char(s)] &lt;TAB&gt; [num] &lt;TAB&gt; [char(s)] &lt;TAB&gt; [num]</literallayout>
<informaltable tabstyle="horizontal" frame="none" colsep="0" rowsep="0"><tgroup cols="2"><colspec colwidth="15*"/><colspec colwidth="85*"/><tbody valign="top">

<simpara>Characters appearing in fields two and four should appear in
unicharset. The numbers in fields one and three refer to the
number of unichars (not bytes).</simpara>

<title>EXAMPLE</title>
<literallayout class="monospaced">2 ' ' 1 " 1
1 m 2 r n 0
3 i i i 1 m 0</literallayout>
<simpara>In this example, all instances of the <emphasis>2</emphasis> character sequence <emphasis>'</emphasis>' will
<emphasis role="strong">always</emphasis> be replaced by the <emphasis>1</emphasis> character sequence <emphasis>"</emphasis>; a <emphasis>1</emphasis> character
sequence <emphasis>m</emphasis> <emphasis role="strong">may</emphasis> be replaced by the <emphasis>2</emphasis> character sequence <emphasis>rn</emphasis>, and
the <emphasis>3</emphasis> character sequence <emphasis role="strong">may</emphasis> be replaced by the <emphasis>1</emphasis> character
sequence <emphasis>m</emphasis>.</simpara>

<title>HISTORY</title>
<simpara>The unicharambigs file first appeared in Tesseract 3.00; prior to that, a
similar format, called DangAmbigs (<emphasis>dangerous ambiguities</emphasis>) was used: the
format was almost identical, except only mandatory replacements could be
specified, and field 5 was absent.</simpara>

<refsect1 id="_bugs">
<title>BUGS</title>
<simpara>This is a documentation "bug": it&#8217;s not currently clear what should be done
in the case of ligatures (such as <emphasis>fi</emphasis>) which may also appear as regular
letters in the unicharset.</simpara>
