Created attachment 409660 [details] Screen shot from example Characters in the P* category and intervening space separators should be included in the ::first-letter pseudo element: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-pseudo-4/#first-letter-pseudo > Punctuation (i.e, characters that belong to the Punctuation (P*) Unicode general category [UAX44]) that precedes or follows the first typographic letter unit and any intervening space separators (characters that belong to the Zs Unicode general category [UAX44]) must also be included in the ::first-letter pseudo-element. Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to https://codepen.io/johannesodland/pen/LYGYWyY Expected result: The second ::first-letter pseudo element should contain "« V" The third ::first-letter pseudo element should contain "– P" Actual result: The third ::first-letter pseudo element only contain "–"

The CSSWG is refining the specification of how exactly the ::first-letter selection algorithm works. Example: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5830 Once the updates to the specification are complete, Webkit will need to be updated to comply.
