Interestingly I get different behaviour per browser/OS. Firefox/Linux clips it to the bounding box of the parent element, Firefox/Mac and Safari/Mac clip it to the line height, and only Chrome/Mac lets it extended further.
Firefox and Safari on iOS 15 both render all the glyphs attached to the base character. Vivaldi, Chrome and Firefox on Win10 all render them stacked and overlapping the parent and child comments.
The characters reach up off the screen as I reply to this. They overlay the comment above you. Amazing. How?
