iex(1)> Exkanji.parse "エモい"
{:ok,
[%Exkanji.Mecab{base: "*", cform: "*", ctype: "*",
feature: "名詞,一般,*,*,*,*,*", hiragana: nil, pos: "名詞",
pos1: "一般", pos2: "*", pos3: "*", pron: nil, read: nil, romaji: nil,
surface: "エモ"},
%Exkanji.Mecab{base: "いる", cform: "一段", ctype: "連用形",
feature: "動詞,自立,*,*,一段,連用形,いる,イ,イ", hiragana: nil,
pos: "動詞", pos1: "自立", pos2: "*", pos3: "*", pron: "イ",
read: "イ", romaji: nil, surface: "い"}]}

iex(2)> Exkanji.parse "エモい", dict: "/opt/local/lib/mecab/dic/neologd-utf8"
{:ok,
[%Exkanji.Mecab{base: "エモい", cform: "*", ctype: "*",
feature: "名詞,固有名詞,一般,*,*,*,エモい,エモイ,エモイ",
hiragana: nil, pos: "名詞", pos1: "固有名詞", pos2: "一般",
