Editing Koppaite text

{{game icons|p3=y|p4=y}}

Because most players do not know the cipher, sometimes the content of the text is secretive and special. For instance, on the [[area selection menu]], when the player clicks an area, some mysterious text will appear on the top-left, with what appears to be comments from the developers. The information behind some texts does not seem to match up with reality, indicating that it was true in [[Pikmin 3 prerelease information|prerelease versions]].

Each character in the Koppaite language can be mapped to one or two English letters. There are only characters for the 26 English letters plus an extra, unknown one. This unknown character only appears on the [[Mission Mode menu]] and [[Bingo Battle menu]], and does not appear in {{p3d}}. While its meaning cannot be decided from the context alone, it's possible that it's some kind of placeholder character, considering the same symbol (〓) is used to indicate missing characters in Japanese.
