Changing FireRed nickname/text entry/keyboard screen

    I'm trying to make a translation of the game but it requires 32 extra symbols with diacritics aside from the basic Latin script.
    Is there any way to modify or use Japanese/French/German naming screens, as they have more space for letters?
    Also, how can I edit the existing empty symbols on the keyboard screen? I tried using Tile Molester to find other letters and I found those, but not the empty spaces. What should I rewrite to make other characters appear on the empty spaces instead?

    You can either build your hack using one of those versions as the base or you can modify the english naming screen to display more characters.

    You can edit which symbols appear on the naming screen by editing these strings. You will also have to change this table to change which characters appear when the player presses A.
