Use tate-chu-yoko
Tate-chu-yoko (also called kumimoji and renmoji) is a block of horizontal type laid out within vertical type lines. Using
tate-chu-yoko makes it easier to read half-width characters such as numbers, dates, and short foreign words in vertical
text.
Numerals without tate-chu-yoko (left) compared to numerals rotated with tate-chu-yoko (right)
1 Select the characters you want to rotate.
2 Choose Tate-Chu-Yoko from the Character panel menu. A check mark indicates that the option is turned on.
Note: Using tate-chu-yoko does not prevent you from editing and formatting type; you can edit and apply formatting
options to rotated characters just as you do to other characters.
Align Asian characters
Mojisoroe is the alignment of characters in Asian type. When a line of text contains different sizes of characters, you
can specify how to align text to the largest characters in the line: to the top, center, or bottom of the em box (right,
center, and left for vertical frames), to the roman baseline, or to the top or bottom of the ICF box (right or left for
vertical frames). ICF (Ideographic Character Space) is the average height and width used by the font designer to design
the ideographic characters which comprise a font.

Em box Top/Right, Em box Center, or Em box Bottom/Left Aligns the small characters in a line to the specified position
of the large character’s em box. In vertical text frames, Em box Top/Right aligns the text to the right of the em box, and
Em box Bottom/Left aligns the text to the left of the em box.
ICF Top/Right and ICF Bottom/Left Aligns the small characters in a line to the ICF specified by the large characters. In
