Description
It's a common effect in vertical writing for the list marker to be rendered horizontally. In most cases the best way to do this is using text-combine-upright: all, but allowing writing-mode on the marker (which turns it into an atomic inline, effectively, and should cause it therefore to position similar to an image marker) might make sense also.
