Same post viewed in Lemmy, it's all squashed into the same space as horizontal text.

I see the vertical text overlaps UI elements in the Notifications window too. And in comments.

I have deployed a fix. Thanks for bringing this up.

How will you deal with actual vertical text?
-
Thanks for handling it. :)

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

@AntiBullyRanger @klu9 I would like to see the verticle text in action, where can I load this to see it?
-
- I have since found out this not actually vertical text but something called Zalgo text, which adds lots of diacritics above and below letters to make the end result very tall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalgo_text
- I haven't seen actual vertical text on PieFed yet.

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.

People trying to be 'cool & edgy' but it really just marks them as annoying idiots. Thanks for the self inflicted Scarlet Letter.

This reminded me: One day I tried to read some Japanese novel in EPUB format. The text inside is, like many Japanese novel, vertical right-to-left.
None of the epub reader except Google Play Books displays it correctly, vertical right-to-left

It's called Zalgo. Disappointingly, the Voyager UI protects me from it overflowing and smushes it together. :)
I imagine it is torture for people who use screen readers, so I apologise.
AHH!
