Oftentimes characters used in Bibles do not match (or work with) ones keyboard settings and/or regional settings. This can result in the wrong characters being displayed. A good example of this is the Transliterated texts for Greek and Hebrew (although one could apply the same principle to almost any language). By substituting characters one can create a text that reads true in the original language. The Character Mapper is a multi-pass compiler, which allows one to globally replace the offending characters and create a completely new Bible text with character representations that match your computer settings as well as seamlessly integrating it into BibleDatabase.

The first cycle is as follows 
w swaps to J
V swaps to w
J swaps to v

The second cycle is as follows:
x swaps to j
c swaps to x
y swaps to c
u swaps to y
q swaps to u
j swaps to q
