Character wave — Character wave on scroll

Make a wave pass through a one-line heading and a small English line below it as the page scrolls. Split each line into inline-block characters and, from progress p in a 360vh pinned section, set character i’s vertical offset to translateY(−sin(p × 2 × 2π − i/n × 2π × 1.1) × 0.32em × sin(πp)); the wave passes through twice and the amplitude is squeezed to zero at both ends of the progress. Scale crest characters up to 1.18× and turn only characters whose sine exceeds 0.8 accent-coloured. Run the English line’s wave in the opposite direction. Do not wrap, and size the type with clamp from the viewport width. Keep the real text in aria-label, and with reduced motion leave the characters in a straight line. Implement it with CSS and JavaScript only, without any library.

Do not drop:
- Squeeze the amplitude to zero at both ends of progress so resting text is a straight line
- Make positions a pure function of progress so the wave rewinds with the scroll
- Never wrap the line; fit it at 375px with clamp
- Keep the real text in aria-label and hide the split characters from screen readers
