Description
This issue applies to Chinese and Japanese.
Emphasis dots should be centre-aligned with the text after the letter spacing is increased.
Example in Chinese:
The GAP
The dots are centre-aligned with the characters in Gecko and WebKit, but not in Blink.
CSS Text Decoration Module Level 4 doesn't refer to this.
Priority
Given that increased inter-character spacing and emphasis dots appearing at the same time is not common, this was prioritised as an advanced issue.
Tests
Interactive test Emphasis dots should be centre-aligned with the text after the letter spacing is increased
Action taken
Outcomes
All major browser engines now centre-align the emphasis dots!
