It appears that I did not quite understand when I wrote this DR.

What should happen is  shown at:

> Part 1, 17.18.24 ST_Em (Emphasis Mark Type) includes:
>
> dot (Dot Emphasis Mark Above Characters)
>
> Specifies that the emphasis mark is a dot character which shall be rendered
> above each character in this run using Unicode character 0x02D9 whenever the
> language of the text is not Japanese, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional
> Chinese. For those three languages, the emphasis mark shall be rendered as
> follows:
>
> ·         Japanese = Unicode character 0xFF0E (dot beneath characters)
>
> ·         Simplified Chinese = Unicode character 0xFF0E (dot beneath
> characters)
>
> ·         Traditional Chinese = Unicode character 0x2027

> I’ve been looking at this for a bit now and I think the complaints are:
>
> ·         Text indicates the dot is below Japanese text – should be above
>
> ·         Text does not address vertical writing
>

> Is that correct?

> The comment about Office is separate and out of scope for WG 4, though if
> there are potential bugs in how Office handles emphasis marks in East Asian
> horizontal or vertical writing, I’d like to get the specifics directly.
