Description
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-decor-3/#text-emphasis-style-property
The value "" for the text-emphasis-style property says:
Display the given string as marks. Authors should not specify more than one character in . The UA may truncate or ignore strings consisting of more than one grapheme cluster.
Shouldn't "grapheme cluster" be replaced by "character" to match the second sentence.
