About kinsoku
Kinsoku
specifies line breaks for Japanese text. Characters that cannot be placed at the beginning or end of a line are
known as kinsoku characters. Illustrator has hard kinsoku sets and soft kinsoku sets. Soft kinsoku sets omit long
vowel symbols and small hiragana characters. You can use these existing sets, or add or delete kinsoku characters to
create new sets.
You can also define hanging characters for hanging Japanese punctuation and define characters that cannot be split
when a line is exceeded.
You can specify whether to push in or push out text so that kinsoku characters are not placed inappropriately.

❖
In the Paragraph palette, choose an option from the Kinsoku Set pop-up menu:

to turn off the use of kinsoku shori.
