Sorry to follow up on myself. I have now checked a dictionary for the standard usage in HK. So I am filling in some details. The placement of the emphasis mark in HK depends on the writing direction. The current standard placement is "before" (left) when vertical, and "after" (below) when horizontal. (p. 436, Oxford Beginner's Chinese Dictionary) -- cheers, -ambrose Yahoo and Gmail must die. Yes, I use them, but they still must die. PS: Don't trust everything you read in Wikipedia. (Very Important)
