Line Break Position differs between Unity versions when a number appears at the end of a line in TextMeshPro

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the ‘NumBreak.zip' project in Unity 2022.3.67f1
2. Open the ‘SampleScene’ scene
3. Observe the line break positions after the number
4. Open the ‘NumBreak.zip’ project in Unity 6000.0.58f1
5. When the TMP Importer window appears, click Import TMP Essentials
6. Open the 'SampleScene’ scene
7. Observe the line break position

Expected result: In step 3, the line break appears before the number, and in step 7, the line break appears before the number
Actual result: In step 3, the line break appears before the number, and in step 7, the line break appears after the number

Reproducible with: 2023.2.0a14, 6000.0.58f1, 6000.2.6f1, 6000.3.0b3, 6000.4.0a1
Not reproducible with: 2023.2.0a13

Reproducible on: macOS 26.0 (M1 Max)
Not reproducible on: No other environment tested

  1. Resolution Note:

    The line breaking behavior for Japanese text in the latest versions of the TextMesh Pro package which is version 3.2.0-pre.x is consistent with other text engines such as Microsoft Word.

    In Japanese line-breaking rules (as defined by JIS X 4051 and commonly followed by text engines), digits are treated as ordinary characters that can break after or before most other ordinary characters. There’s nothing that makes “10” inseparable from the surrounding kana in your example.

    Your text:

    これはテストですこれはテストですこれ10テスト

    If it needs to wrap near the end, it’s entirely acceptable for the break to occur after “10” so that the line ends with “…これ10” and the next line begins with “テスト”.

    …これはテストですこれ10
    テスト

    There’s no prohibition against having the digits at the line end and the following “テスト” on the next line.

    ⚠️ What isn’t allowed is breaking within the number (“1|0”) or breaking before the first character of a multi-character punctuation mark, but that’s not the case here.

    So yes — per Japanese line-breaking rules, breaking after “10” before “テスト” is permitted.
