Zhuyin wildcard search

Please, tell me what the star means, in the phonetic discription.

It's an ABC-dictionary-specific feature - means that this is the most common word with this particular Mandarin pronunciation, ignoring tones.

Thank you.

Why-when, selecting a symbol, on the Zhuyin keyboard-area, many characters show, with that symbol, but, only a few, with the particular, Zhuyin symbol, show on the search results?

P.S. Please, tell me what the "I", symbol is. Thank you.

Our Zhuyin search method doesn't do prefix matching very well at the moment - it will only generally accept an exact input, when a Zhuyin keyboard might accept the first character of a two-character syllable or the first one or two characters of a three-character one.

The 'I' is another way of writing the Zhuyin 一 character - this is a font-specific variation and it seems like this particular font does it that way.

Thank you.
