Lastly, the original tile set also includes six kanji characters. These have not been added to this recreation. Apart from that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Note that the "Pokédollar" character has been mapped to the regular "$" sign. The arrows are mapped to "Black Right-Pointing Triangle" (U+25B6), "White Right-Pointing Triangle" (U+25B7), and "Black Down-Pointing Triangle" (U+25BC).
