So someone put vertical text in a post title...

Same post viewed in Lemmy, it's all squashed into the same space as horizontal text.
Shame nobody 🧵 posted actual vertical text:
ᠪᠣᠰᠰᠣᠣ ᠲеᠻᠰᠲ☝️ If you don't see this vertically, your client is lying to you.
Also, 🖕 Unicode.
Not vertical for me :(
I don't know what that stuff in the post in question is, so I just called it vertical text. Until I squinted, I thought it might have been Manchu script :D
Switch 𐑑 client 𐑞𐑑 1) displays vertical text 2) 𐑯 has recursive font support. 𐑓 Mongolian Bichig, Gecko is recommended. (Not by me). Mongolian White is rec. as well.
Here’s how our exchange should have looked like:
Like others already mentioned 🧵, «Zalgo» is randomized unicode diacritics abuse. If 𐑘𐑹 client escaped 𐑞 diacritics, 𐑘𐑹 font is displaying diacritics correctly.
𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯 subs used
Thanks for the info.
TIL about Zalgo text.
@AntiBullyRanger @klu9 I would like to see the verticle text in action, where can I load this to see it?
I'm honestly at a loss for recommendations. I tried Iceraven, and it didn't have reading or vertical text mode. Einkbro’s orientation is jarring for LtR language mixed with verticals:
In portrait mode, it should paragraph leftward. Ideally a 25 character wrap to indent the next line in the paragraph. I’ll try make an html+css example later.
I love all the things unicode support by default but one should not be ashamed to refuse to support some features.
