Are any scripts written vertically?
East Asian scripts are frequently written in vertical lines which run from top-to-bottom and are arrange columns either from left-to-right (Mongolian) or right-to-left (other scripts). Most characters use the same shape and orientation when displayed horizontally or vertically, but many punctuation characters will change their shape when displayed vertically. Letters and words from other scripts are generally rotated through ninety degree angles so that they, too, will read from top to bottom. That is, letters from left-to-right scripts will be rotated clockwise and letters from right-to-left scripts counterclockwise, both through ninety degree angles. Unlike the bidirectional case, the choice of vertical layout is usually treated as a formatting style; therefore, the Unicode Standard does not define default rendering behavior for vertical text nor provide directionality controls designed to override such behavior.
