WEB I18N GAP FIXED: Interoperable emphasis marks

Emphasis marks

Chinese and Japanese have a native way of indicating emphasis for short ranges of inline text which involves placing a small mark above or below the characters being emphasised in horizontal text, and to the right/left in vertical text.

This is now supported, using CSS, in all 3 major browser engines.

See the Gap report.

See also CSS Text Decoration for how to use this feature.
