Using kinsokuKinsoku 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. Apart from defining characters that cannot be placed at the beginning or end of a line, 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. To select kinsoku settings for a paragraph:
