Example
Example: turn two short lines into vertical columns
Enter AB on the first line and CD on the second. Choose the automatic column height and enable a space between columns.
| Output row | Left column | Right column |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ｃ | Ａ |
| 2 | Ｄ | Ｂ |
The output has two rows and two columns, with a space between columns. Read the right column downwards as AB, then the left as CD. The letters become full-width so the columns line up.
How it works
- Type or paste the text. Each line becomes a column.
- Choose how many characters a column holds; longer lines carry on into the next column.
- The vertical text appears as you type, the first line on the right.
- Copy it and paste it into your post.
Frequently asked questions
- Why are the letters so wide?
- Every character is made full-width so the columns line up; a half-width letter or space would shift everything after it. It is the same text in wide form, not an image.
- Why do the columns run from right to left?
- That is how vertical Japanese and Chinese are read. For English written top to bottom, keep it to one line per column and read the columns from right to left.
- Why does it look ragged on some phones?
- The columns line up in fonts where every full-width character has the same width, which Japanese fonts do. Some apps show posts in a font where they are not quite equal.
- Is what I type sent anywhere?
- No. The conversion runs in this page as you type.
