This PR expands the Western character table (both PAL and NTSC-U share it) with all the characters I have found while doing a pass at my old Spanish translation.

My tests consisted in editing a number of weapon descriptions to add all the possible combos of a certain key + ASCII characters and see what changed. I have only researched these ranges:

  • Space (0x20) to 3 (0x33)
  • Colon (0x3A) to A (0x41)
  • Left square bracket (0x5B) to a (0x61)
  • Left curly bracket (0x7B) to tilde (0x7E).

I have not tested all the remaining numbers, uppercase characters or lowercase characters, but considering all the already known chars were linked to punctuation signs, I am assuming the untested characters will give no new results.

NOTE FOR FUTURE EDITORS: MAKE SURE TO CONVERT THIS CODE SO IT OUTPUTS UTF-8 STRINGS, OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE:

  • ISSUES WHEN DISPLAYING CERTAIN EUC-JP CHARACTERS USED IN THE WESTERN VERSIONS (BUTTON KEYS, 0xA1C8/0xA1C9 QUOTATION MARKS).
  • COLLISIONS BETWEEN THE OPENING EXCLAMATION MARK (¡, 0xA1) AND THE BEFOREMENTIONED CHARACTERS.
