CSS Text Orientation

The text-orientation property in CSS deals with the orientation of characters in East Asian language scripts. It adjusts the orientation of characters for better readability and aesthetics in these scripts.

Basic Usage

The text-orientation property controls the orientation of characters in vertical scripts. It is usually applied to East Asian language characters like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
  .vertical-text {
    text-orientation: upright;
  }
</style>
</head>
<body>

<p class="vertical-text">
  This property primarily impacts East Asian language characters, adjusting their orientation within a vertical layout.
</p>

</body>
</html>

Important Consideration

The text-orientation property might have limited support and relevance in typical web design contexts, especially for languages using horizontal scripts.

Best Practices

  • Relevance: Use text-orientation primarily for East Asian language scripts with a vertical layout.
  • Cross-Browser Compatibility: Always test thoroughly across browsers to ensure consistent behavior.

Given the limited scope and specific application of the text-orientation property, its practical use in typical web design might be restricted. Always consider its relevance to the specific language and script requirements in your project.
