Frequently Asked Questions
What does text-orientation do?
In vertical writing modes, text-orientation controls glyph rotation. 'mixed' keeps CJK upright and rotates Latin, 'upright' keeps all upright, 'sideways' rotates all.
When do I need this?
When using writing-mode: vertical-rl or vertical-lr for vertical text. Controls whether Latin characters and numbers rotate 90° or stay upright.
What's the default behavior?
'mixed' is the default—CJK characters stay upright while Latin/numbers rotate. This matches traditional Japanese vertical text conventions.
