Lu Posted April 13, 2010 at 01:47 PM Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 at 01:47 PM AFAIK there's no such rule. There's no danger of a character being split over two lines, and it's no problem if the second (or more) character of a word is on the next line. Grabbed a random Chinese document on my desk to check, it has 高 [line break] 雄. So, no problem. Sometimes you even see a full stop or comma on the next line, especially in older documents. I think nowadays that's considered a bit sloppy, and usually avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofmann Posted April 13, 2010 at 06:12 PM Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 at 06:12 PM I vaguely remember something that has to do with people's names. You couldn't split them or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted April 14, 2010 at 03:47 AM Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 at 03:47 AM From a computing standpoint, it's mostly just punctuation that can't be the first character on a line, plus a number of leading characters (also punctuation/numeric) that can't be the last character on a line. See here for a list of line-breaking rules in Asian languages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
