 Many byte pairs will print an empty space, but most are unused. In most dialogue, 0x7F is used to display a space, while in user-input strings, <code>0B FF</code> is inserted when the player uses a space. (This seems to be because the game requires that all user-input strings use pairs of bytes; if they didn't, the "maximum" length could vary significantly.) Similarly, while byte pairs starting with 0x00 and 0x0B have identical outputs, the game only naturally uses 0x0B pairs.
-For the most part, the Korean characters appear in a consistent order based on their makeup (their initial, medial, and final consonants/vowels). There are some exceptions, however (such as 쓔 and 쓩).
+For the most part, the available Korean characters match the 2,350 hangul syllables present in the {{wp|KS X 1001}} standard, as well as the 40 jamo and 5 additional syllables (뢔, 쌰, 쎼, 쓔, 쬬) necessary to input them. The 5 additional syllables are placed in what would otherwise be empty slots between the 94-character rows from KS X 1001. The only other changes are that 겸 and 겹 are swapped, 굄 is replaced by 괻, 댜 is removed, 돐 is removed, and 읊 is replaced by 읆.
 This encoding does not include jamo that are exclusively as final consonants.
