This is how I added an extra font to a Pi Pico UC. I hope it helps.

You can find the bit patterns for the characters on page 14 of this publication (I think they are Japanese).  
[没有幻灯片标题 (waveshare.com)](https://www.waveshare.com/datasheet/LCD_en_PDF/LCD1602.pdf)  
Look at columns 1010 to 1101.

You quickly get into the method coding the characters into bit patterns.  
I would be interested to see your results.

Best of luck  
Tony
