== Direction of text ==

Unicode has left to right and right-to-left control characters. I'm pretty sure it does not yet offer a top-bottom control character, but maybe some coverage on this would be useful for completeness. -- I have browsed 5 pages so far on wikipedia searching for coverage on the topic, and none of them have been sufficient, which to me shows that at least somewhere there should be a more complete coverage of the topic. --— '''<span style="font-family:adobe caslon pro; font-style:italic; color:#330000"><big>r</big>obbiemuffin</span>'''&nbsp;^{[[User:Robbiemuffin|<span style="color:#22aaff;">page</span>]] [[User talk:Robbiemuffin|<span style="color:#ffaa22;">talk</span>]]} 12:35, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

== in order to write English ==

This is true if writing in modern English for native English readers.

As soon as you add the need for IPA equivalent phonetics, is 256 still sufficient ?

The assertion seems to trade on an ambiguity - on the printed page of a typical published novel which itself contains no mathematics, no foreign names ...which is NOT the case of internet documents.

== DTP software generally does not have “more complete support” for vertical Japanese in 2025 ==

After installing current versions of common DTP software (Affinity Publisher, QuarkXPress, Adobe InDesign) there seems to be only one program with any support for vertical Japanese (and personally it’s the unfortunate one). The claim “DTP software has more complete support for it” seems unsubstantiated. [[Special:Contributions/210.17.224.90|210.17.224.90]] ([[User talk:210.17.224.90|talk]]) 14:24, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
