Fellow TeXxies — is there a platform on which questions relating to
Unicode may be asked ? <br>
I ask because I have just noticed the following :<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite"><i><a name="m_-5904182401327293575_grapheme_cluster" href="http://unicode.org/glossary/#grapheme_cluster" target="_blank">Grapheme
Cluster</a></i>. The text between grapheme cluster boundaries
as specified by <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/" target="_blank">Unicode
Standard Annex #29, "Unicode Text Segmentation."</a> (See
definition D60 in <a href="http://www.unicode.org/versions/latest/ch03.pdf#G30602" target="_blank">
Section 3.6, Combination</a>.) A grapheme cluster represents a
horizontally segmentable unit of text</blockquote>
<br>
and am wondering why the word "horizontally" is used. Can there not
be grapheme clusters <br>
in languages such as Mongolian, written vertically, top-down, L-to-R
?<br>
