lol..that may be a challenge for Chinese.

Assuming you can fit any Chinese char into a 20x20 pixel image:

1 char = 400 bits * 16 bits (16-bit mode) = 6400 bits = 800 bytes.

13400 x 800 bytes = 10720000 bytes = 10468.75 megabytes = 10.223388671875 GIGABYTES.

Assuming you only need 10% of the 13400 characters, then you are looking at a GIGABYTE for the BMP images.

Good luck!
