Refinements to Cantonese readings and HSK learning content.

Fixed Cantonese Jyutping not showing above the characters.

New in 4.1: • Explore 288 Panda-curated entries across Wuxia, Journey to the West, and Buddhism. • Get a clear warning when Silent Mode or zero volume may mute pronunciation audio.

Fixed a bug where tapping a pronunciation flag could speak the wrong Chinese dialect — for example, Mandarin words read aloud in Cantonese — when your device's default Chinese voice was set to another dialect. Each flag now always uses its own dialect's voice.
