Right, which is most likely why you're having the issues you mentioned.

The speakupconf save should also copy the characters file. If you want
to be really sure that your custom characters file is the one that
gets loaded by speakupconf load, you can delete the one in
/etc/speakup/i18n/characters, and copy your own by hand into
/etc/speakup/i18n.

I would also strongly recommend opening an issue about the problems
you're experiencing at:

<https://github.com/bytefire/speakup/issues>

so that it is documented, and has a bigger chance of being looked
into. If that's something you're unable to do, I can open it for you,
and point to this discussion.
