Comment (by wildworks):

 Thanks everyone for your feedback.

 I haven't found an ideal approach, but I can think of three approaches:

 1. Use `text-wrap:pretty` instead of `text-wrap:balance`. This approach
 will have a bigger impact because it will change the wrapping position of
 headings in all locales.
 2. Override `text-wrap` in specific locales. This approach would require a
 selector like `html[lang="ja"]`, and using a selector hardcoded for a
 specific locale in the core may not be ideal.
 3. Add `word-break: auto-phrase`. This value is only valid when
 `lang="ja"` is specified, so it will not affect other locales. However, it
 is not supported by Firefox and Safari ([https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/CSS/word-break#browser_compatibility MDN link]).
