Touhou names in other scripts

[NecroSovereign]

I'm interested in seeing how names of Touhou characters is written in scripts other than Japanese, Latin, Cyrillic and Hangul. I'm particularly interested in Arabic, Hebrew, Armenian and Georgian versions.

I can post Cyrillic and Hangul versions but they can be found on Touhou Wiki.

AFAIK most of the Chinese names use the same kanji (but in simplified characters), but the names with hirigana or katakana use a general name characters (i.e. Kawashiro Nitori (河城 にとり) turns into 河城荷取 (H? ch?ng h? qǔ)). These characters might not match the Japanese pronunciation.

Pretty much everybody in Armenia and Georgia can speak Russian so I imagine that fans there (if there are any) are using Russian patches/translations/messageboards and not transliterating anything. Ditto for Israel & English, at least among internet users. Without substantial native-language communities, consensus can't be achieved on what the correct way to transliterate characters' names is.

Points to signature...

I compared your signature to many different script and didn't found anything similar. My only guess is that it is some variant of cuneiform and what is written is 'ABCD no EFCD' or 'DCFE no DCBA', depending on whether it's supposed to be read from left or right, where A, B, C, D, E and F is unknown letters or syllables.

EDIT: Omniglot is an excellent website for scripts, natural or otherwise. Judging from previous posts, it seems that fictional ones are fair game, so I'll mention the underrated Atlantean alphabet from Disney's Atlantis. (I'd write names in it myself, but I'm going to bed soon.)

Checked, and it matches the Japanese pronunciation.
