the word "em" can be used for both outsiders in social relationships and family members of a younger status, or in romantic relationships specifically for females regardless of age. is it reasonable to use 俺 for the former with the standard meaning of "em", and 㛪 for the romantic meaning?
詞"em"𣎏體用朱哿𠊛外族和中家庭𠇍𣘾髀纙𠊛𡮈歲欣或中䋦關係浪漫， 指停朱女空分別歲作，料𣎏合理欺使用"俺"義通常和"㛪"停𥢆朱女中䋦關係𡞕𠽚和浪漫？

I'm a japanese learner so I know close to nothing about vietnamese, I'm just fascinated by Chinese characters and how other languages incorporate them. So :

1. When / where is ChuNom still being used ?

2. Can the average vietnamese who went to school read ChuNom ? If so, to what degree ?

3. Can everything in modern vietnamese be transcribed to ChuNom ?

Thank you !

As learning Vietnamese and Chu Han Nom I notice that some of the older tools like from nom foundation are not really usable or from chunom.org. It is kinda fascinating how this good looking script vanishes. Just translating some sentences from Chinese to Vietnamese Script is like a battle of "should I use the phonetic character or the character with the meaning?". It is often just a guessing game. A good example would be cuối cùng. In Chu Nom there are multiple variants according to nom foundation. 𡳳窮, 檜窮 or 𡳃窮.

But sometimes you can use 季共 which also means at least/at last. Of course there are also full Sino Vietnamese words for such, which is Tối hậu (最後), which makes a lot of sense. But the problem is that every scholar and writer use different character to describe the things they want to talk about.

There are also "shorthand" versions like for 裊 -> 𠮩. The landscape is just too vast for new learners. As community it would be great to create a standardize Chu Han Nom. If the community would be interested in such a project to standardize a lot of words and also to import new words, then it would a great thing. It would be lots of fun. I love learning languages.
