*This pronunciation is an exception in that it corresponds to a character that has an alternate Cantonese pronunciation. Example- While the listed Cantonese pronunciation for a character is "ba" it is can also be pronounced "pa", so while the general corresponding Mandarin sound to the Cantonese "ba" is generally "ba," for that particular character the Mandarin equivalent is "pa".
#This is an uncommon pronunciation occurring for only one or two characters. However, sometimes characters that have the less common pronunciation are frequently used. Example- The common character «~ is pronounced "ban" in Cantonese. That sound is usually changed to either "bin" or "ben" in Mandarin, but in this case becomes "pin".
^The Cantonese mid and high level tones were listed separately from the low level tones for this character because the corresponding Mandarin sounds differ for low and high/mid sounds.
