[iOS] External lookups don’t work well with Traditional Characters

Specifically, Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSetLearning) because it doesn’t support searching traditional characters, so this external lookup doesn’t work well at the moment. Proposal — to share simplified characters even if traditional characters has been passed.

Another example is MDBG, looks like Pleco doesn’t respect traditional characters preference and always searches for “Simplified Characters”. This one I solved in my own app by passing `wdrst` parameter, 0 for simplified and 1 for traditional characters respectively.

If possible, please allow to choose between built-in browser and opening external lookups in Safari.

E.g. I use a handful of extensions like adblocker, dark theme, popup dictionary, and they all don’t work in built-in browser.

I really respect that you provide the "Taiwan MOE stroke order" lookup, but it seems to be broken at the moment.

Thanks - we have code in place to supply the correct character set to each website so it seems like settings are mixed up.

Will investigate a Safari option + this MOE issue.
