text-combine-horizontal property CSS Reference



Definition and Usage

This property specifies the combination of multiple characters into the space of a single character. If the combined text is wider than 1em, the UA must fit the contents within 1em, see below. The resulting composition is treated as a single upright glyph for the purposes of layout and decoration. This property only has an effect in vertical writing modes.
