View source for FF8/String Encoding

[https://sourceforge.net/p/ifrit/code-0/HEAD/tree/trunk%20ifrit-code-0/Resources/textformat.ifr source for some of text codes]
=== String Encoding ===
FF8 takes strings of text and converts them down to byte arrays. Some of which aligns to the grid of text in the texture. Some bytes = two characters.
==Special Bytes==
These bytes are points where things are inserted or a change in formatting. Some just say to ignore this string unless the player unlocked something.
