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.

Syntax
text-combine-horizontal: none | all | [ digits ? ]
Values
- none
- No special processing.
- all
- Attempt to typeset horizontally all consecutive characters within the element such that they take up the space of a single character within the vertical line box.
- digits <integer>?
- Attempt to typeset horizontally each maximal sequence of consecutive ASCII digits (U+0030–U+0039) that has as many or fewer characters than the specified integer such that it takes up the space of a single character within the vertical line box. If the integer is omitted, it computes to 2. Integers outside the range 2-4 are invalid.
Examples
tcy { text-combine-horizontal: digits 4; }
tcy2 { text-combine-horizontal: all; }
