Screen shot from example

Characters in the P* category and intervening space separators should be included in the ::first-letter pseudo element: 


https://drafts.csswg.org/css-pseudo-4/#first-letter-pseudo
> Punctuation (i.e, characters that belong to the Punctuation (P*) Unicode general category [UAX44]) that precedes or follows the first typographic letter unit and any intervening space separators (characters that belong to the Zs Unicode general category [UAX44]) must also be included in the ::first-letter pseudo-element.



Steps to reproduce: 

1. Go to https://codepen.io/johannesodland/pen/LYGYWyY

Expected result: 
The second ::first-letter pseudo element should contain "« V"
The third ::first-letter pseudo element should contain "– P"

Actual result: 
The third ::first-letter pseudo element only contain "–"
