Compared to the european/north american release, the alphanumeric and punctuation characters are all shifted by one pixel to the left, and one pixel down. The font also lacks a lowercase.
This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.

The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters.

In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in a line above their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.
With the exception of the few additional katakana glyphs, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Similarly, in the password entry screen the game includes various characters with an umlaut/diaeresis, which are rendered as a separate tile in the preceding line. In this recreation, these have also been pre-combined. The game itself also uses some non-standard combinations (such as a "k" with an umlaut) - these have not been included, as they don't map to any standard unicode character. Lastly, to avoid confusion, the numeral "0" in the password entry screen uses a slash. This has been mapped to the "Latin Capital Letter O with Stroke" character (U+00D8).
Beyond this, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
