Re: [clreq] Should mention position of underline for vertical writing mode

> 專名號為U+FF3F FULLWIDTH LOW LINE [_],標示於專有名詞——如人名、地名等——底端之符號。

Actually, 底端 (foot side) does *not* mean the visual bottom side of 
text but the side of text that is *closer to the foot end of the 
layout*. Hence it could mean both bottom side of text in horizontal 
writing mode and left side of text in vertical writing mode. Similar 
terms and definitions are listed below:

- 頂端 (head side) the side of text that is closer to the head of the 
layout
- 底端 (foot side) explained as above
- 始端 (starting point) the side of a character that is in between the 
character and its previous one
- 末端 (end point) the side of a character that is s in between the 
character and its following one

The corresponding English translation is inaccurate though (sorry 😝). 
Will have to correct it later and add the explanation to glossary too 
(and of course the figures)…

> U+FF3F FULLWIDTH LOW LINE [_] is positioned underneath proper nouns 
such as a person's name, the name of a place, etc.
