Though I have not read any technical report or so on line-breaking,
there are some Hiragana/Katakana letters which must not be put on the
start of a line. This is just like a close parenthesis ")" cannot start
a line. The followings are examples of such letters.
- U+3041 HIRAGANA LETTER SMALL A
- U+3043 HIRAGANA LETTER SMALL I
- U+3045 HIRAGANA LETTER SMALL U
- U+3047 HIRAGANA LETTER SMALL E
- U+3049 HIRAGANA LETTER SMALL O
- U+3063 HIRAGANA LETTER SMALL TSU
- U+309B KATAKANA-HIRAGANA VOICED SOUND MARK
- U+309C KATAKANA-HIRAGANA SEMI-VOICED SOUND MARK
- U+309D HIRAGANA ITERATION MARK
- U+309D HIRAGANA VOICED ITERATION MARK
- U+30A1 KATAKANA LETTER SMALL A
- U+30A3 KATAKANA LETTER SMALL I
- U+30A5 KATAKANA LETTER SMALL U
- U+30A7 KATAKANA LETTER SMALL E
- U+30A9 KATAKANA LETTER SMALL O
- U+30C3 KATAKANA LETTER SMALL TSU
- U+30E3 KATAKANA LETTER SMALL YA
- U+30E5 KATAKANA LETTER SMALL YU
- U+30E7 KATAKANA LETTER SMALL YO
- U+30F5 KATAKANA LETTER SMALL KA
- U+30F6 KATAKANA LETTER SMALL KE
- U+30FC KATAKANA-HIRAGANA PROLONGED SOUND MARK
- U+30FD KATAKANA ITERATION MARK
- U+30FE KATAKANA VOICED ITERATION MARK
Please don't regard this is a complete list. This table is a *part*
of characters I *feel* they should not located at the top of lines as
a native Japanese speaker without expert knowledges on typeseting.
