The CSS layout-grid-char-spacing property controls the character spacing granularity when the layout-grid-mode is set to char or both, and the layout-grid-type property is set to loose. 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.
