Use the correct `lang` attribute at the nearest content boundary. Do not force
Korean into MiSans or use Simplified Chinese glyphs for Traditional Chinese.
One surface uses one locale narrative family plus MERXI Data.

MiSans and MiSans TC are the Chinese production authorities. Noto Sans is not a
primary Chinese family; a platform fallback is used only when the named MiSans
face cannot load. Chinese and Korean do not use Latin uppercase treatment or artificial tracking.
Use weight, color, size, and spacing for emphasis. Chinese copy uses strict line
breaking. Korean uses natural word spacing and `word-break: keep-all`.

## Betting-number rules

- Decimal odds: `1.86` — always two decimal places.
- Probability: `64.0%` — one decimal in analysis and comparison.
- Probability movement: `+3.2 pp` — never show a bare percent change.
- Score: `2 — 1` — preserve order and competition context.
- Balance: `12,888.00 USDT` — keep asset codes in Latin and unbroken.
- Time: `14:32 UTC` — include the time zone whenever ambiguity is possible.
- Use tabular lining figures and align decimals in comparison columns.
- Global gain is green and loss is red. Set `data-financial-convention="red-up"` to reverse
  those colors explicitly; a language change never does this automatically, but the sign and text label must always remain visible.

Primary navigation uses `游戏`, `遊戲`, or `게임`. Do not label the product
destination `赌场` or `賭場`. Use Live Dealer only inside the Games category.

## Writing and layout

- Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese use native full-width punctuation.
- Do not mix Simplified and Traditional characters in one content flow.
- Chinese body copy targets 24–32 Han characters per line.
- Korean body copy targets approximately 35–50 characters per line.
- Product actions state the consequence. Avoid literal word-for-word translation.
- Verify wrapping at 320, 360, 390, and 430 CSS px before release.
- Keep one primary action per viewport and a minimum 44 × 44 px target.
