Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Better describe the likely outcomes of hyphenation (editorial) (#5973)

> @r12a @xfq We've added a short table of examples illustrating the spelling changes (which are normatively noted in the paragraph above) here:

[1] The Uighur example is missing the 'hyphen'.  It should be a short baseline extension, separated from the last letter by a small space.  [Here's an example](https://github.com/r12a/typesamples/issues/37#issuecomment-1426994086).  It's not entirely clear how the line should be produced.  Some say that the font should automatically drop and lengthen a normal hyphen, but others say you should use ـ  U+0640 ARABIC TATWEEL.

[2] Although the introductory text mentions that other symbols may be used, rather than a hyphen, the list of examples doesn't back that up convincingly - it only shows hyphens.  I can provide one extra example for you, but how would you like it?  I can provide text, but others may not be able to see the text, or i could provide an SVG image which could be displayed at approximately normal text size.
