In the cases where it is impossible or impractical to determine the measure of the “0” glyph,
874+
it must be assumed to be 0.5em wide by 1em tall.
875+
Thus, the ''ch'' unit falls back to ''0.5em'' in the general case,
876+
and to ''1em'' when it would be typeset upright
877+
(i.e. 'writing-mode' is ''vertical-rl'' or ''vertical-lr''
878+
and 'text-orientation' is ''text-orientation/upright'').
