Description
To my knowledge, U+2E3A is used in Chinese typesetting only, which does not have punctuation overhang styling right now (#6582), so the hanging of this particular punctuation is really confusing. Plus, even if we bring it back, U+2E3A should not be overhung. Per clreq, hanging punctuation "helps to avoid moving characters or punctuation marks between lines and avoids inconsistency of space between the characters in different lines." The current hanging effect of U+2E3A defeats that purpose:
Typst code:
#let ccwd = 12pt
// Set the text width to exact 30 Chinese characters.
#set page("a5", margin: (x: 50% - ccwd * 15))
#set text(
lang: "zh",
font: ("Source Han Serif SC"), // font converts 2 U+2014s to U+2E3A
size: ccwd,
)
#set par(justify: true, first-line-indent: (amount: 2em, all: true))
// stripe background
#place(
top + left,
dx: ccwd,
repeat(
rect(width: ccwd, height: 6em, stroke: none, fill: rgb("#7092be70")),
gap: ccwd,
justify: false
)
)
#set text(overhang: false)
囗囗囗囗囗囗囗，囗囗囗囗囗囗囗囗。囗囗囗囗囗囗囗囗囗——囗囗囗囗 this is correct
#set text(overhang: true)
囗囗囗囗囗囗囗，囗囗囗囗囗囗囗囗。囗囗囗囗囗囗囗囗囗——囗囗囗囗 the grid is broken :(
