Oh god that looks cursed. Have you thought of just representing the characters using Zhuyin?

1. You still have to squeeze three Zhuyin symbols into one cell for syllables like "chuang", due to the limitation of psfu fonts. And no tones can be added.

2. I'm not a Zhuyin native user, so it's better to be done by someone else.

You're welcome to develop a Zhuyin version if you like.
