Description

It seems like text-spacing-trim did not include rules for U+FF01 FULLWIDTH EXCLAMATION MARK and U+FF1F FULLWIDTH QUESTION MARK. The two punctuations are presented as halfwidth-in-fullwidth box, closing to the left side in Simplified Chinese (China). In GB/T 15834-2011, these 2 punctuations are collapsed when used in conjunction (?? or ?!) and followed by closing punctuation (?))

Research direction

The issue concerns CSS Text Level 4's text-spacing-trim rules; start by comparing the current rules with GB/T 15834-2011 for U+FF01 and U+FF1F. Done means the specification addresses their Simplified Chinese behavior, including the cited combinations with each other and with closing punctuation.
