Since there does not exist a way to cleanly display diacritics, this font also simulates the bottom of one segment display and the top of another, allowing for accénted characters.

As with most segment display fonts, the uppercase letters look better.

I feel as some video games also did that with diacritics to save space for tilesets, especially Japanese, which has some less than 50 characters each for Hiragana and Katakana, plus punctuation.

Using two more tiles for (han)dakuten would save a lot of space, but the characters had to be either stacked on top of, or placed adjancent to one another…

这是为那些懂中文的人准备的。这个网站 https://3type.cn/3typezine/typebites/05.html 上有很多十六段显示汉字的示例。中文不是我的母语,所以我很难读懂分段显示并将它们映射到正确的字符。如果您能读懂这些示例,请对字符的未遮挡版本进行评论。
