Up to year 2021, the computer support of Japanese characters is underdeveloped. Yet, there is no universal default font, that would allow each character to look the same at different computers, but different from other characters. In particular, this refers to characters of JapanPi.
For this reason, meaning and pronunciation of some of JapanPi can be attributed also to other characters from the same set.

Other JapanPi seem to refer to someone bald, monstrous, dangerous [11][12]
