Missing Chinese characters for Steam Workshop translation

Thanks to the effort of the community, there have been lots of brilliant mods in the workshop. I’m working on the translation of those mods to introduce them to Chinese player community. However, there is a problem. The Chinese characters supported by the game are enough for original game content. However, issues occur when it comes to Workshop content. Since Chinese characters currently supported by game is not enough for names from Workshop content, correct names for certain species can not be applied during translation.

Here is a list of missing characters for Workshop translation.

魣 U+9B63 barracudas
魮 U+9B6E barbs
鮗 U+9B97 longfins
鮟 U+9B9F anglerfishes
鮠 U+9BA0 catfishes
鮰 U+9BB0 catfishes
鯙 U+9BD9 moray eels
鯻 U+9BFB tigerperches
鰕 U+9C15 gobies
鰶 U+9C36 gizzard shads
鱇 U+9C47 anglerfishes
鱥 U+9C65 minnows
鲃 U+9C83 barbs
鲯 U+9CAF dolphinfishes
鲿 U+9CBF catfishes
鳑 U+9CD1 bitterlings
鳚 U+9CDA blennies
鳡 U+9CE1 yellowcheeks

楔 U+6954 wedge, used in certain animal names
篦 U+7BE6 combs, used in certain animal names
鸻 U+9E3B plovers

Besides, Chinese characters used for names of fishes are put together in Utf-8. All characters from 魚(9B5A) to 鳤(9CE4) in UTF-8 code are related to fishes, most of which are names.
If all characters from U+9B5A to U+9CE4(Some of them have been added to the game already), the problem for fishes will be solved permanently.

This is especially helpful. By my calculations it's around 400 characters total. Not a tiny amount, but hopefully I can squeeze them all into the atlas. :)

Perfect! Looking forward to see it in next update.

Since it seems to be a big project, I need to mention that it's unnecessary to add them all unless you're going to support Traditional Chinese in the later version. There are duplicate characters. They are different versions of same character between Traditional and Simplified Chinese.

Sorry for having forgotten to mention that. I will send an Excel List to contact@twicecircled.com later, in which duplicate characters will be removed.
