Characters and Letters</span><a class="self-link" href="#characters"></a></h4>
<p>The basic unit of typesetting is the <dfn data-dfn-type="dfn" data-noexport="" id="character">character<a class="self-link" href="#character"></a></dfn>.
However, because writing systems are not always as simple as the basic English alphabet,
what a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#character">character</a> actually is depends on the context in which the term is used.
For example, in Hangul (the Korean writing system),
each square representation of a syllable
(e.g. <span lang="ko-hang" title="Hangul syllable HAN">한</span>=<span lang="ko-Latn">Han</span>)
can be considered a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#character">character</a>.
However, the square symbol is really composed of multiple letters each representing a phoneme
(e.g. <span lang="ko-hang" title="Hangul letter HIEUH">ㅎ</span>=<span lang="ko-Latn">h</span>,
<span lang="ko-hang" title="Hangul letter HIEUH">ㅏ</span>=<span lang="ko-Latn">a</span>,
<span lang="ko-hang" title="Hangul letter HIEUH">ㄴ</span>=<span lang="ko-Latn">n</span>)
and these also could each be considered a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#character">character</a>.
</p>
<p>A basic unit of computer text encoding, for any given encoding,
is also called a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#character">character</a>,
and depending on the encoding,
a single encoding <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#character">character</a> might correspond
to the entire pre-composed syllabic <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#character">character</a> (e.g. <span lang="ko-hang" title="Hangul syllable HAN">한</span>),
to the individual phonemic <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#character">character</a> (e.g. <span lang="ko-hang" title="Hangul letter HIEUH">ㅎ</span>),
or to smaller units such as
a base letterform (e.g. <span lang="ko-hang" title="Hangul letter IEUNG">ㅇ</span>)
and any combining marks that vary it (e.g. extra strokes that represent aspiration).
</p>
<p>In turn, a single encoding <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#character">character</a> can be represented in the data stream as one or more bytes;
and in programming environments one byte is sometimes also called a <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#character">character</a>.
</p>
<p>For text layout, we will refer to the <dfn data-dfn-type="dfn" data-export="" data-lt="typographic character unit|typographic character" id="typographic-character-unit">typographic character unit<a class="self-link" href="#typographic-character-unit"></a></dfn>
as the basic unit of text.
Even within the realm of text layout,
the relevant <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#character">character</a> unit depends on the operation.
For example, line-breaking and letter-spacing will segment
a sequence of Thai characters that include U+0E33 THAI CHARACTER SARA AM differently;
or the behaviour of a conjunct consonant in a script such as Devanagari
may depend on the font in use.
So the <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#typographic-character-unit">typographic character</a> represents a unit of the writing system—such as a Latin alphabetic letter (including its diacritics),
Hangul syllable,
Chinese ideographic character,
Myanmar syllable cluster—that is indivisible with respect to a particular typographic operation
(line-breaking, first-letter effects, tracking, justification, vertical arrangement, etc.).
</p>
<p><a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/">Unicode Standard Annex #29: Text Segmentation</a>
defines a unit called the <dfn data-dfn-type="dfn" data-noexport="" id="grapheme-cluster">grapheme cluster<a class="self-link" href="#grapheme-cluster"></a></dfn>
which approximates the <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#typographic-character-unit">typographic character</a>.
A UA must use the <em>extended grapheme cluster</em>
(not <em>legacy grapheme cluster</em>), as defined in <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-uax29">[UAX29]</a>,
as the basis for its <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#typographic-character-unit">typographic character unit</a>.
However, the UA should tailor the definitions
as required by typographic tradition
since the default rules are not always appropriate or ideal,
and is expected to tailor them differently
depending on the operation as needed.</p>
<div class="example" id="example-645d2d72"><a class="self-link" href="#example-645d2d72"></a>
<p>For example,
in some scripts such as Myanmar or Devanagari,
the <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#typographic-character-unit">typographic character unit</a> for both justification and line-breaking
is an entire syllable,
which can include more than one <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-uax29">[UAX29]</a> <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#grapheme-cluster">grapheme cluster</a>.
</p>
<p>In other scripts such as Thai or Lao,
even though for line-breaking the <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#typographic-character-unit">typographic character</a>
matches Unicode’s default <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#grapheme-cluster">grapheme clusters</a>,
for letter-spacing the relevant unit
is <em>less</em> than a <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-uax29">[UAX29]</a> <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#grapheme-cluster">grapheme cluster</a>,
and may require decomposition or other substitutions
before spacing can be inserted.
</p>
<p>For instance,
to properly letter-space the Thai word คำ (U+0E04 + U+0E33),
the U+0E33 needs to be decomposed into U+0E4D + U+0E32,
and then the extra letter-space inserted before the U+0E32: คํ า.
</p>
<p>A slightly more complex example is น้ำ (U+0E19 + U+0E49 + U+0E33).
In this case, normal Thai shaping will first decompose the U+0E33 into U+0E4D + U+0E32
and then swap the U+0E4D with the U+0E49, giving U+0E19 + U+0E4D + U+0E49 + U+0E32.
As before the extra letter-space is then inserted before the U+0E32: นํ้ า.
</p>

<p>The <dfn data-dfn-type="dfn" data-noexport="" id="content-language">content language<a class="self-link" href="#content-language"></a></dfn> of an element is the (human) language

For example, the rules for determining the <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#content-language">content language</a> of an HTML

<p>This property transforms text for styling purposes.
(It has no effect on the underlying content.)
Values have the following meanings:</p>
<dl>
<dt><dfn class="css" data-dfn-for="text-transform" data-dfn-type="value" data-export="" id="valdef-text-transform-none">none<a class="self-link" href="#valdef-text-transform-none"></a></dfn>
<dd>No effects.
<dt><dfn class="css" data-dfn-for="text-transform" data-dfn-type="value" data-export="" id="valdef-text-transform-capitalize">capitalize<a class="self-link" href="#valdef-text-transform-capitalize"></a></dfn>
<dd>Puts the first <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#typographic-letter-unit">typographic letter unit</a> of each word in titlecase;
other characters are unaffected.
<dt><dfn class="css" data-dfn-for="text-transform" data-dfn-type="value" data-export="" id="valdef-text-transform-uppercase">uppercase<a class="self-link" href="#valdef-text-transform-uppercase"></a></dfn>
<dd>Puts all lettersin uppercase.
<dt><dfn class="css" data-dfn-for="text-transform" data-dfn-type="value" data-export="" id="valdef-text-transform-lowercase">lowercase<a class="self-link" href="#valdef-text-transform-lowercase"></a></dfn>
<dd>Puts all letters in lowercase.
<dt><dfn class="css" data-dfn-for="text-transform" data-dfn-type="value" data-export="" id="valdef-text-transform-full-width">full-width<a class="self-link" href="#valdef-text-transform-full-width"></a></dfn>
<dd>Puts all <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#typographic-character-unit">typographic character units</a> in fullwidth form.
If a character does not have a corresponding fullwidth form,
it is left as is.
This value is typically used to typeset Latin letters and digits
as if they were ideographic characters.
</dl>
<p>For <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="#valdef-text-transform-capitalize">capitalize</a>, what constitutes a “word“ is UA-dependent;
<a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-uax29">[UAX29]</a> is suggested (but not required) for determining such word
boundaries. Authors should not expect <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="#valdef-text-transform-capitalize">capitalize</a> to follow
language-specific titlecasing conventions (such as skipping articles
in English).
</p>
<div class="example" id="example-7cb4bb58"><a class="self-link" href="#example-7cb4bb58"></a>
<p>The following example converts the ASCII characters
used in abbreviations in Japanese text to their fullwidth variants
so that they lay out and line break like ideographs:
</p>
<pre>abbr:lang(ja) { text-transform: full-width; }</pre>
</div>
<p class="note" role="note">
Note that, as defined in <a href="#order">Text Processing Order of Operations</a>,
transforming text affects line-breaking and other formatting operations.
</p>
<p>
The UA must use the full case mappings for Unicode
characters, including any conditional casing rules, as defined in
Default Case Algorithm section of The Unicode Standard <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-unicode">[UNICODE]</a>.
If (and only if) the <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#content-language">content language</a>
of the element is, according to the rules of the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#doclanguage">document language</a>,
known,
then any appropriate language-specific rules must be applied as well.
These minimally include, but are not limited to, the language-specific
rules in Unicode’s
<a href="http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/SpecialCasing.txt">SpecialCasing.txt</a>.
</p>
<div class="example" id="example-12e88f74"><a class="self-link" href="#example-12e88f74"></a>
<p>For example, in Turkish there are two “i”s, one with
a dot—“İ” and “i”— and one
without—“I” and “ı”. Thus the usual
case mappings between “I” and “i” are
replaced with a different set of mappings to their respective
undotted/dotted counterparts, which do not exist in English. This
mapping must only take effect if the <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#content-language">content language</a> is Turkish
(or another Turkic language that uses Turkish casing rules);
in other languages, the usual mapping of “I”
and “i” is required. This rule is thus conditionally
defined in Unicode’s SpecialCasing.txt file.
</p>
</div>
<p>The definition of fullwidth and halfwidth forms can be found on the
Unicode consortium web site at <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-uax11">[UAX11]</a>.
The mapping to fullwidth form is defined by taking code points with
the <code><wide></code> or the <code><narrow></code> tag
in their <code>Decomposition_Mapping</code> in <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-uax44">[UAX44]</a>.
For the <code><narrow></code> tag,
the mapping is from the code point to the decomposition (minus <code><narrow></code> tag),
and for the <code><wide></code> tag,
the mapping is from the decomposition (minus the <code><wide></code> tag)
back to the original code point.
</p>
<p>Text transformation happens after <a href="#white-space-rules">white
space processing</a>, which means that <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="#valdef-text-transform-full-width">full-width</a> only transforms
U+0020 spaces to U+3000 within <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#preserved">preserved</a> white space.
</p>
<p class="note" role="note">
A future level of CSS may introduce the ability to create custom mapping
tables for less common text transforms, such as by an <span class="css">@text-transform</span>
rule similar to <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-counter-styles-3/#at-ruledef-counter-style">@counter-style</a> from <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css-counter-styles-3">[CSS-COUNTER-STYLES-3]</a>.
