We need to be careful about what 'baseline' means. CSS and other sources say that Han characters _do_ have a baseline, but it's an ideographic baseline (`ideo`) that runs below the Han character glyphs, and is somewhat lower than the English baseline (`romn`). There are other types of baseline that that found in English text; northern Indian baselines are often said to be hanging and align with the top bar in certain scripts (`hang`). These baselines are used to relatively position the text in differing fonts in the vertical axis. What _is_ true is that Han characters have no descenders. -- GitHub Notification of comment by r12a Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/clreq/issues/634#issuecomment-2418933377 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
