Optimized for East Asian fonts

你好, こんにちは, 안녕하세요

Chinese (Simplified)

革命不是请客吃饭,不是做文章,不是绘画绣花,不能那样雅致,那样从容不迫,“文质彬彬”,那样“温良恭俭让”。革命就是暴动,是一个阶级推翻一个阶级的暴烈的行动。

Chinese (Tranditional)

山不在高,有仙則名;水不在深,有龍則靈。斯是陋室,惟吾德馨。苔痕上階綠,草色入簾青;談笑有鴻儒,往來無白丁。可以調素琴,閱金經。無絲竹之亂耳,無案牘之勞形。南陽諸葛廬,西蜀子雲亭。孔子云:「何陋之有?」

Japanese

祇園精舎の鐘の声、諸行無常の響きあり。沙羅双樹の花の色、盛者必衰の理をあらはす。おごれる人も久しからず。ただ春の夜の夢のごとし。たけき者も遂にはほろびぬ、ひとへ‌​に風の前の塵に同じ。

Korean

나라말이 중국과 달라, 한문・한자와 서로 통하지 아니하므로, 어리석은 백성들이 말하고자 하는 바가 있어도, 끝내 제 뜻을 펴지 못하는 사람이 많다. 내가 이를 불쌍히 여겨, 새로 스물 여덟 글자를 만드니, 사람마다 하여금 쉽게 익혀, 날마다 씀에 편하게 하고자 할 따름이다.

Add the lang attribute to the <html> element or use the class lang-zh, lang-zh-hans, lang-zh-hant, lang-ja or lang-ko to have better Asian CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) font support.

<html lang="zh-Hans">……</html>

<p class="lang-zh-hans">革命不是请客吃饭,不是做文章……</p>
<p class="lang-ja">祇園精舎の鐘の声、諸行無常の響きあり……</p>
<p class="lang-ko">나라말이 중국과 달라, 한문・한자와 서로 통하지 아니하므로……</p>

And you can use the lang-cjk class or the lang attribute to add spacing between underlines and strike-through text for better Chinese and Japanese readability.

祇園精舎の鐘の声、諸行無常の響きあり。

祇園精舎の鐘の声、諸行無常の響きあり。

<p class="lang-cjk"><u>祇園</u><u>精舎</u>の鐘の声、諸行無常の響きあり。……</p>
<p lang="ja"><del>祇園</del><del>精舎</del>の鐘の声、諸行無常の響きあり。……</p>
