Here's a use case for `::nth-letter() `(or at least second letter). When trying to reproduce historical texts like Shakespeare, initial letter doesn't work for several reasons: 1. There are hard line breaks in poetry and the dropcap should span two lines (or more in many cases) and it's not recognized (`<br />` doesn't work for semantic reasons) 2. Sometimes the dropcap is two letters (see below). 3. The next letter after the dropcap is often capitalized, but not always.  If there's reason enough to support dropcaps, there should be reason enough to support them correctly, not superficially. -- GitHub Notification of comment by severdia Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3208#issuecomment-826133888 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
