Line 254:
For scripts such as [[Template:Unicode chart Mongolian|Mongolian]] and [[Template:Unicode chart Phags-pa|Phags-pa]] which are written in vertical columns, the glyphs in the font have horizontal orientation so that complete runs of horizontal text can be rotated into vertical orientation by a higher level protocol (commonly [[CSS]]). Currently, in our code charts we rotate the glyphs into vertical orientation. This used to match the Unicode code charts, which used to show vertically-oriented glyphs for Mongolian and Phags-pa, but a few years back the editor of the Unicode code charts deliberately changed the Mongolian and Phags-pa code charts to show horizontally-oriented glyphs to reflect how the glyphs are represented at the font level. My question is, should we continue to rotate glyphs in the dynamic Mongolian and Phags-pa charts or should we leave them in horizontal orientation to match the current Unicode code charts? My preference is to rotate into vertical orientation as this matches user expectation (it is how Mongolian and Phags-pa glyphs are presented in books on these scripts).

:I don't have a strong preference, although I do think Unicode showing them horizontally seems strange. Vertical seems better. [[User:Drmccreedy|DRMcCreedy]] ([[User talk:Drmccreedy|talk]]) 17:28, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
== Unicode 13.0 ==
Unicode 13.0 will be released in March. Can we complete outstanding work on the Unicode chart module by then? Or shall we continue to use the old Unicode chart templates for the Unicode 13 update? [[User:BabelStone|BabelStone]] ([[User talk:BabelStone|talk]]) 10:16, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
