# Turns a normal string into a Unown string and displays it.
#
# NOTICE: Yes, I know the unown graphics aren't the best, but they work.
#
# How to use:
# - Insert the graphics provided to: YourGameFolder/Graphics/Pictures OR add
# your own graphics (to the same folder)
# - Customize the settings to make sure everything works the way it should
# - Test it out
# - Report any problems
#
#
# Call with: Unown.show("Text")
