A caution on shanzhai phones & and shanzhai smartphones:
The term shanzhai refers to imitation or counterfeit products that mimic the appearance of established brands, often smartphones manufactured under generic name companies (e.g. Alps) with generic name brands (Fuffi, Maimeite, Sansung, Susan, Welcome, etc.) that look nearly identical to legitimate models from companies like Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Oppo, Xiaomi, etc). These devices are typically sold at attractively low prices, but behind their polished facades, there lies serious risks in them.
A key form of deception in shanzhai smartphones involves spoofed hardware specifications. These devices may falsely claim impressive specs (e.g. "12 GB RAM + 1 TB storage") when in reality, they only contain a lot less RAM and lot less storage than what was “advertised”.
Such falsifications are achieved through firmware tampering, where system files are modified so the phone's "About Device" screen and certain foolable diagnostic apps display fake numbers.
This deliberate manipulation leads users to believe they are purchasing a high-performance phone capable of what you would deem it as "real modern multitasking and gaming", when in reality, they really cannot even do basic operations, they do overheat, and run out of storage (and battery, since they use KEBE-branded batteries) almost immediately.
Oh, and combined with outdated Android versions—often disguised as newer releases via modified files (e.g. build.prop)—through hidden pre-installed apps (like SwitchApp), these shanzhai devices pose serious risks to both user experience and data security.
Also, many shanzhai smartphones falsely claim to support modern mobile technologies such as 4G LTE, Voice Over LTE (VoLTE), or even 5G, when in reality, they only function on 2G or 3G networks.
From ads that show that these shanzhai smartphones can really connect to 5G networks, to firmware modifications, these tactics are often used to display misleading information, giving users the illusion of full compatibility with what you think are the "current standards" (some even show "4G” or "5G" icons in the status bar, despite the hardware being incapable of connecting to those networks). The implications are very severe.
As mobile carriers around the world phase out 3G networks, these shanzhai smartphones will lose the ability to make calls (including emergency calls), send text messages, or use mobile data—leaving users with only Wi-Fi connectivity. This not only renders the phone nearly useless but also poses a safety risk in situations where cellular access is critical.
Australia, may have (to the officials) made the right move to sunset 3G networking, but this comes at the cost of axing 4G & 5G phones that used 3G for calls (esp. emergency calls) off the network.
Beyond that, shanzhai smartphones often contain low-quality components, unstable firmware, and even pre-installed malware or data-harvesting software. Buyers may experience app incompatibility, unreliable updates, and privacy breaches without realising the root cause.
Consumers should be wary of deals from unverified online sellers on ecommerce websites (like Lazada, Shopee, etc.) advertising those shanzai smartphones that appear "too good to be true". Always verify the device's certification (such as CE, FCC, or IMDA marks), check the Android API level and security patch level, and confirm the authenticity of the brand and model through official sources (e.g. iTest).
Remember:
A small saving upfront could cost far more in lost data, compromised privacy, and security risks in the long run. If it appears too good to be true, it probably is.

Based on the then SGiNO's (now UMIINO's) line of discontinued keypad phones that features a 3x4 alphanumeric keypad, and an amber monochrome LCD display.
Extracted these charsets from the iNO F8. Other phones, such as the CP-09, also has the font, but lacked support for the characters in the Latin-1 Supplement group.
Fixed the "$" and added more characters to the Latin-1 Supplement group.

A warning to Singapore:
There could be a potentiality that this font could be "censored" by those S9 Singaporeans, in the event that they have reported (did, could have, or in the process of getting) this font as "potential infringement of the Copyright Act of 2021".
Let me tell you something:
I have my decision, and I will stand by it, in terms of preservation of those fonts that I have created in FontStruct sourced from anywhere across Singapore.
I will rightly refuse any takedown request from anyone, even from the mightiest authority of them all, the Infocomm Media Development Authority, or SGiNO (the company which manufactured these phones).
They have no right to ask me to take it down just because they think that this font, at their own extremely biased view, is a "potential infringement of the Copyright Act of 2021".
Because of those S9 Singaporeans (they think that this intellectual property belongs to the Infocomm Media Development Authority and/or SGiNO), I will not release this until further note.

Released, as is, with no changes. The following characters (in the Latin-1 Supplement) that the original font supports, is Æ, È, É, Ñ, Ö, à, æ, è, é, ñ, and ö.
