Confusion of similar glyphs in the Classical Chinese localization

In the Classical Chinese localization of the game, orthodox traditional forms found in historical dictionaries are usually preferred. However, 冑 (“helmet”), which is used in the names of helmets and armor, is instead written as 胄 (“descendant”). Both glyphs are visually very similar and (considering their rarity in usage) are often confused together in modern times, however the two meanings should be assigned to two separate glyphs in traditional forms.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  • Change the settings to Classical Chinese (文言) with Japanese glyph variants turned off in the font settings.

  • Obtain a helmet, such as an Iron Helmet.

Expected result

The helmet’s name would use the character 冑 (U+5191, “helmet”, shown with two disconnected horizontal strokes below). For example, the Iron Helmet would be named 鐵冑.

Actual result

The helmet’s name uses the character 胄 (U+80C4, “descendant”, shown with two connected horizontal strokes below). For example, the Iron Helmet is named 鐵胄, literally “iron descendant”.
