Being able to find ??/?? with just wy is cool, but I'm concerned about this being a sort of very narrow hack. It's only in a specific KRunner plugin, so it won't work in any other thing finding apps by name using lower-level APIs. And it only works for Chinese. Littering high-level frontend code with language-specific stuff seems wrong. Is there a more central place we could put this, and maybe a more extensible way to do it? Like, a framework like Ki18n could have a matchInput(haystack, needle) that can do this sort of language-specific expansion/transform for haystack to match needle.
