For reading-to-pron conversion to work well, the pronunciation field should only contain Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana.

The pronunciation can also contain pitch accents. The start of a pitch phrase is specified with ^ and the down-pitch position is specified with !, for example: phrase:端 pronunciation:^はし phrase:箸 pronunciation:^は!し phrase:橋 pronunciation:^はし! We currently only support the Tokyo dialect, which allows at most one down-pitch per phrase (i.e. at most one ! between ^).
