Japanese Captions
summary
Explains that Japanese captions commonly sit vertically on the right or left and walks through five concrete features: ruby pronunciation annotations, text emphasis marks, vertical placement to avoid onscreen graphics, text-combine-upright for multi‑digit numbers, and slanted baseline text for off‑screen dialogue. Shows which features TTML/IMSC already implement, which use CSS properties in WebVTT, and which are still missing in WebVTT or at risk from browser support so you know what actually works now.
