#Certain characters in NAME.tbl being deleted upon decompiling

I'm attempting to create a mod in Korean, and decompiling name.tbl with the editor seems to delete certain characters. I'm assuming it's due to language compatibility issues, since the issue doesn't occur when I attempt the same with my completed, English version of the mod.

Noteworthy points:

  • Editor in question is this one https://github.com/DeathChaos25/P5NameTBLEditor/releases
  • The editor I used was not outdated, and trying with an older version only produced the same result.
  • every single character that went missing were also the last character in their respective names EX: 광(Fool)
  • The Korean name.tbl wasn't actually in Korean upon being decompiled into text files, but instead what I presume to be Chinese characters from their appearance, since they definitely weren't Japanese. Whether this is again due to problems with the editor or if it was just coded like that is unknown to me at this time.

The last one I actually have a method of circumventing, but I put it out there just in case it mattered for something. If this indeed turns out to be a limitation on the editor's part with no possible fix, what other methods exist for modifying name.tbl?

Thanks in advance to anyone who's willing to help.

It do be made for English not Korean

I'd make a github issue asking for support

Honestly it's really not that big of a mod, I only need to change 14-15ish bytes, I think that one's too much trouble for what it's worth

In the case of Korean or Chinese, letters cannot be loaded in such a simple way.
You will need to find or create a mapping table. I tried it, but I gave up because the actual list doesn't completely match the letters in the font file
I thought it would be too much to list thousands of them one by one.

For example, 0x8384 is "가"
