Half-width katakana, a couple kanji, and some bugfixes #151

Are you sure you want to change the base?

The rationale to include the Also @bluetoad07, did you include the |
Yes I included those. I think I copy-pasted the wrong list there. |
If you ever feel like doing a lot more, you could support JIS X 0208, which is the standard used by pretty much all legacy Japanese computers such as NEC PC-98 and IBM/MS DOS/V. Here is the list of JIS X 0208 Level 1 kanji:
JIS X 0208 Level 2:
NEC (PC-98) and IBM (DOS/V) extensions:
If you include all of these, you have all the kanji available in IBM/Microsoft codepage 932, which is the DOS/V and legacy Windows (3.x/9x) character set. I think we can consider that the exhaustive kanji set for legacy computers, as that was the dominent system from 1990 to 2000, and does include all the NEC PC-98 kanji as well. Of couse, that's a whole 6715 kanji to add… |
It'll be a long time from now but I'll try to support as many as I can eventually! Thanks for the lists! |
Made some small touch-ups to existing characters while this is still open. Mostly subtle changes, but う, ぅ, ゔ, ウ, ゥ, and ヴ all have new designs for consistency and clarity (the U sounds were bothering me today apparently.) |
Okay now I'm done. |
This also fixes カ/ガ being swapped in current releases, thanks :) |
I actually saved the changes this time :]
Anyways, more JP stuff from me!
This PR includes:
Half-width katakana with their full-width counterparts:

The new kanji:

The kanji were surprisingly fun to make, and given how derivative they are of each other I will probably do a lot more at some point.
Update: I got bored, so there is now also a couple more spacing and consistency changes, as well as new designs for う, ウ, ワ, カ, and all of their variations.
Thanks! <3
