Japanese font leftovers and related errors: Difference between revisions

*The international Generation I/II Pokémon games have leftover Japanese characters, which are usually scaled [[wikipedia:kana|kana]] only used as modifiers (of both the [[wikipedia:syllabry|syllabry]] [[wikipedia:hiragana|hiragana]] and [[wikipedia:katakana|katakana]]); as a type of [[wikipedia:Mora (linguistics)|mora]], although no [[wikipedia:Yōon|Yōon]]. As most English characters start at 0x80, it is assumed the earlier characters like these were simply left unused

**Sounds: The characters include the scaled hiragana ぁ (a), ぃ (i), ぅ (u), ぇ (e), ぉ (o) and the scaled katakana equivalents of a; u; e (ァ, ゥ, ェ) with the same respective, phonetic sounds; The character ど also appears

*Pokémon Diamond and Pearl have a leftover ("欠番") graphics tile, but this may be in no relation to the actual けつばん ([[MissingNo.]]), although probably in reference to a superstition, about unlucky numbers.<ref>[https://iimarckus.org/i/missing-number/ IIMarckus]</ref>
