Here it is:

1) In the actual Japanese text of the manga the names of all shinki are written with the most modern variant of the kanji (Sakura as 桜, Mayu with 真, and so on). The characters as they are imprinted on the bodies of shinki are actually written in "small seal script" - a calligraphic script of kanji/hanzi characters that has been legally declared as state standard in 2nd century BC China. As such, most if not all of the characters shown either on the bodies of shinki or floating in the air when they are summoned are non-modern variants of currently used kanji. While in Sakura and Mayu's cases the specific variants (櫻 and 眞, respectively) used are not entirely out-of-use and can be found on the internet (not as a photo but as text), there are many other shinki in whom's case the modern variant must be used (e.g. Kazuha, Daikoku). Considering that and the fact that the original Japanese manga uses the most recent variants in all names, I think we should just show the modern variants and maybe add notes in the trivia sections.

2) I think replacing the semicolon with "|" would be best.

3) I'm not sure what you mean, so I'll need you to be more specific. If it's about things like shinki names and how they're not always clear, I've been doing some research about the logic behind them and I've been thinking about creating a page about it since it's kinda difficult.

I hope I could answer your questions and I'll now get to work on some of the changes that should be made.
