sealed interface TextOrientationSpan
A sealed interface representing text orientation spans for use within a vertical text layout.
These spans allow for overriding the default text orientation of portions of text, such as setting it to upright, sideways, or combining text horizontally within a vertical flow (tate-chu-yoko).
These spans are intended for use with VerticalTextLayout.
