WEB I18N GAP FIXED: Interoperable emphasis marks
Chinese and Japanese have a native way of indicating emphasis for short ranges of inline text which involves placing a small mark above or below the characters being emphasised in horizontal text, and to the right/left in vertical text.
This is now supported, using CSS, in all 3 major browser engines.
See the Gap report.
See also CSS Text Decoration for how to use this feature.

See the Gap report.
