Btw, the fact that 8.6% and GDP read LTR within the RTL flow is perfectly normal to me, since i work with Arabic, Hebrew, Thaana, etc scripts which also have 'bidirectional text' arrangements where numbers and Latin text are embedded in the main script. I wouldn't have classified that whole ...8.6%... line as tate-chu-yoko. I think it's just a container with writing-mode set to horizontal (and direction to RTL) placed alongside or inside another container that has writing-mode set to vertical-rl. For me, tate-chu-yoko is partly defined by the requirement that it fits (width-wise) in a single line of vertical text, and the expectation that it occurs as part of that line. > Also, this is clearly not tate chū yoko either, the name of the person is 陳朝容 (not 陳容朝 if read horizontally). Are you saying that because you expect tcy to run LTR? This may be the first time we've examined such a case, but it seems to me that it's logical for the direction of the tcy text to flow RTL here, because RTL for horizontal text is the pattern throughout the page. (I'm not sure what the implications are for CSS support, however...) -- GitHub Notification of comment by r12a Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/clreq/issues/152#issuecomment-335841799 using your GitHub account
