Fields

NameValueDescription
Mixed0Each character is set as the Unicode Standard says (Vertical_Orientation, UAX #50): the ideographs, the syllables of kana and of Hangul and the symbols are upright; the letters of the scripts written in horizontal lines (Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Devanagari) are on their side, turned a quarter of a turn clockwise, as a horizontal line read from the top. This is the default.
Upright1Every character is upright, one under the other, whatever its script; the text is laid out from the top, without right-to-left text.
Sideways2Every character is on its side: the line is a horizontal line turned a quarter of a turn clockwise.
