What it does

H prints left to right, V top to bottom with the characters stacked, R right to left. In vertical and reverse directions the characters are placed as combining semantic clusters.

^FP interacts with the justification of ^FO and ^FT and with the rotation of ^A; the guide's Field Interactions chapter shows the combinations.
