The CSS layout-grid-char property controls the size of the character grid for the layout of an element's text content when the layout-grid-mode is set to line or both. Visually, this property has an effect similar to the line-height property. It is used because Asian languages often employ page layout for characters for better visual formatting using a one or two-dimensional grid.
