Does this mode of writing use the vertical alternates? My experience of it is insufficient to answer, as I cannot recall seeing any content like this that used characters that are different in horizontal vs vertical writing modes. If it is using horizontal alternates, I wonder if this is a case where we should actually use the `direction` property (https://drafts.csswg.org/css-writing-modes-3/#direction), despite the warning against it in the spec. I don't think it belongs in the markup since it is a stylistic choice, not something inherent to the language. Another other interesting questions to help figure out whether this is indeed horizontal right to left or vertical-rl with very short columns: What happens when numbers in the latin script's numerals are embedded in it? I believe that happens for example in newspaper titles with dates, and that the dates are displayed in their usual ltr. This would confirm that this is a horizontal mode, and that the direction property can handle it. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2754#issuecomment-396047745 using your GitHub account
