Line Break - Symbols Allowing Break After
Symbols Allowing Break After is a line breaking classification that identifies characters, typically punctuation or symbol forms, which permit a line to wrap immediately following them without inserting a space or hyphen. This includes characters like certain dashes, slashes, or currency signs that naturally connect to the preceding text but allow a soft break point after their occurrence. The purpose is to improve text flow in justified or narrow layouts by permitting a break where the symbol visually terminates a segment, such as after a colon or a closing bracket, while still preventing breaks before the symbol to avoid dangling punctuation. This behavior helps maintain readability and optical alignment across lines in multilingual and technical content, ensuring that symbols do not become orphaned at the line start.
