kinsoku settings in InDesign.
Kinsoku specifies line breaks for Asian text. Characters that cannot be placed at the beginning or end of a line are known as kinsoku characters. For Japanese text, you can use 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. Chinese and Korean versions include special kinsoku sets.
