Hey, I study special needs education for blind/visually impairment (and for hearing and deafblindness).

I was wondering if people with low vision experience differences between reading different printed alphabets (japanese/ arabic/ latin alphabet/ cyrillic etc) and if certain scripts are easier to read than others?

Does anyone know or know how to find those things out? I discussed it with my prof and he didn’t know either.

(If this post seems familiar it might be because I posted it (but worded differently) on reddit too)

    When drunk, reading Korean characters on mobile becomes a herculean challenge.

    That said, CJK characters tend to be printed a little larger. For example, if you look at this line (예를), many apps/browsers will have slightly larger vertical spacing for the line due to the CJK characters being 10-15% larger than Roman ones.

    Edit: I just realized you might be blind, so you won’t be able to see the line has more vertical spacing. But trust me, it does!
