More than 8 Custom Characters on LiquidCrystal Display?

Other Hardware Displays
12

Thank you guys for the replies! Here's the program I made based on your and other people's advice:

void loop()
{
 //7th sequence
  /*i put the lcd.creatChar here in loop, 
  drew the sequence, then cleared the screen to avoid 
  repetition due to the 8 custom character limit*/
  lcd.createChar(0, AmongUs);
  lcd.createChar(1, heart);
  lcd.createChar(2, smiley);
  lcd.createChar(3, man);
  lcd.createChar(4, creature);
  lcd.createChar(5, house);
  
  lcd.setCursor(0,0);
  lcd.write(byte(0));
  
  lcd.setCursor(8,0);
  lcd.write(byte(1));
  
  lcd.setCursor(15,0);
  lcd.write(byte(2));
  
  lcd.setCursor(0,1);
  lcd.write(byte(3));
  
  lcd.setCursor(8,1);
  lcd.write(byte(4));
  
  lcd.setCursor(15,1);
  lcd.write(byte(5));
  
  delay(400);
  lcd.clear();
  
  //8th sequence
  lcd.createChar(0, tongue);
  lcd.createChar(1, bell);
  lcd.createChar(2, music);
  lcd.createChar(3, down);
  lcd.createChar(4, LED);
  lcd.createChar(5, turtle);
  
  lcd.setCursor(0,0);
  lcd.write(byte(0));
  
  lcd.setCursor(8,0);
  lcd.write(byte(1));
  
  lcd.setCursor(15,0);
  lcd.write(byte(2));
  
  lcd.setCursor(0,1);
  lcd.write(byte(3));
  
  lcd.setCursor(8,1);
  lcd.write(byte(4));
  
  lcd.setCursor(15,1);
  lcd.write(byte(5));
  
  delay(400);
  lcd.clear();
  
}
