Was thinking about what it would take to allow Japanese characters in the EGA-like framebuffer and fell down a deep deep hole of adding the 8x8 misaki font and then writing code to convert Unicode codepoints to JIS X 0208 2-byte kuten coordinates.

Need to write up a full blog post about what all went into this but here's the final product in all its glory! Special thanks to Nice Gear Games (npub1ey6…585q) for translating my save file deletion dialog (minus the buttons which I googled 😛)
