I wonder if users of vertical languages prefer portrait screen orientation to landscape?

Legit don't matter.
But I hope u read ð rest of 🧵, ’cʌ exactly usŋ multiple langs ʃn’t break orientaʃs. Evn if must, it ʃ gracefully fallback t ð dominant skirpt, if not, v orientaʃ marks as u type. I’m still angry Unicode took out VTM.

Prior to 2014, Unicode had a «Vertical Text Mark», ðt let ð text renderer know ↓ skript needs t b vert.. Ðy removd completly, lettŋ us standardless. I preferrd keepŋ it, as ðy hypocritically allowd horizontal BiDi marks.
