The main difficult thing for you will be any characters that are not
already trained.  There's no easy way to "just add a few characters"
you basically have to do a full retrain.  If you're okay living within
the unicharset already trained for a given language, you can just swap
in your own dictionary files, either using combine_tessdata(1) and
wordlist2dawg(1) or by specifying a user-words file (to augment the
dictionary) described as zdenko mentioned on the man page.
