Working with aki
Aki
is the white space before or after a character. Usually, fixed spacing is applied between the characters based on
the mojikumi setting for a paragraph. You can change the mojikumi setting for special characters using the Insert
Aki options in the Character palette. For example, to add a space before an opening parenthesis, use the Insert Aki
(Left) option.
