Eaxmple from the blog

Someone else commented:

Considering examples from a Microsoft engineer
(https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20030929-02/?p=42363) and Unicode
standard (https://unicode.org/reports/tr50/#vo) it seems that LibreOffice does
the right thing, and Word has a bug.

>From the blog:

Rotating text is problematic in languages that traditionally run vertically,
such as Chinese. Since you probably don’t have Chinese fonts installed, pretend
that X, Y, and Z are the Chinese characters for your name. In traditional
vertical text, it would be written as shown in Example 1 below. Notice that the
English text is rotated clockwise. This preserves the top-to-bottom reading
order.
As a concession to Western influences, it is permissible to render Chinese
characters left-to-right, in which case your name would be written as “XYZ (Amy
Smith)”.
Compare this to the traditional Western way of rotating text. Text which would
normally be rendered as “Amy Smith” is rotated counter-clockwise and rendered
as shown in Example 2.
Now consider what happens if you take a Chinese name rendered the Western way,
“XYZ (Amy Smith)”, then rotate the Western way, resulting in Example 3. Notice
that from a Chinese point of view, everything is upside-down! The character
that is supposed to be at the top (X) is now at the bottom.
