Research direction

Start with the linked Japanese Layout Requirements section and the existing Chinese Text Layout Requirements content to identify where emphasis guidance belongs. Add a concise, sourced description of Chinese emphasis and highlighting practices, while considering the listed Japanese, Ethiopic, and Tibetan references; the documentation is done when the relevant guidance is included and accurately organized.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

i:emphasis

Japanese Layout Requirements lists the following ways of showing emphasis in Japanese.

  1. Select a different typeface (eg. a Gothic font in Mincho text).
  2. Use [「] U+300C LEFT CORNER BRACKET and [」] U+300D RIGHT CORNER BRACKET, or [〈] U+3008 LEFT ANGLE BRACKET and [〉] U+3009 RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET.
  3. Change the colour.
  4. Underline.
  5. Boten marks (also known as emphasis marks).

We can also consider listing how to express emphasis or highlight text in Chinese (maybe sorting from commonly used to less commonly used?).

(See also Ethiopic and Tibetan.)
