 AFAIK, a lot of papers in Japan are printed in Top-to-Bottom direction,
not only Left-to-Right.

 Unfortunately, current Unicode has only L-t-R .vs. R-t-L (BIDI) swithcing,
not T-t-B and B-t-T  ;-)


P.S. I seems, future Unicode will be very like to specific binary RIP
(Raster Image Processor) control language... (not just Character
collection/index as ISO-10646).
