Japanese quotation marks do not display as full-width












4















When I use Japanese quotation marks at the start of a line, the whitespace at the beginning of the character seems to get cut off, moving the quotation mark half a space forward. This puts the text out of alignment when it should look like its aligned to a grid.



enter image description here



documentclass{article}
usepackage{xeCJK}
begin{document}
begin{enumerate}
item
「あああああああああああああ」

 あああああああああああああ。

「あああああああああああああ」

 あああああああああああああ。
end{enumerate}
end{document}


Is there any way to force the quotation marks to display properly at their full-width without trimming the whitespace?

          I do not know why this is, except that it seems like it's the kind of thing that is intended so as not to leave a space at the beginning of a line. But you can work around it by inserting a strut before the opening bracket:



          documentclass{article}
          usepackage{xeCJK}
          begin{document}
          begin{enumerate}
          item strut「あああああああああああああ」

           あああああああああああああ。

          strut「あああああああああああああ」

           あああああああああああああ。
          end{enumerate}
          end{document}


          output



          An alternative is to insert a half width space in your second lines:



          documentclass{article}
          usepackage{xeCJK}
          newlength{cjktextsize}
          makeatletter
          newcommand{cjkhalfspace}{%
          setlength{cjktextsize}{f@size pt}%
          hspace*{0.5cjktextsize}}
          makeatother
          begin{document}
          begin{enumerate}
          item「あああああああああああああ」

          cjkhalfspace あああああああああああああ。

          「あああああああああああああ」

          cjkhalfspace あああああああああああああ。
          end{enumerate}
          end{document}
