There is a small private English learning institution near my home. The foreign teachers hired there are all informal foreign teachers. Almost all the foreign teachers told me that children in English-speaking countries never learn phonetic symbols. They know the words when they see them. pronounce. This surprises us students who must learn English by looking at phonetic symbols. Chinese characters have pinyin, and English also has phonetic symbols for us. Japanese characters and Korean also have phonetic symbols. In Japan, the printing method of marking phonetic symbols on the text is called "Ruby" or "rubi". There is also a tag in HTML that is specially used to display phonetic symbols or comments, which is called ruby. It adopts this attribute from the Japanese printing industry. Of course, there is a programming language also called Ruby, which is two different things, so don’t confuse it.

This tag also supports nested use and displays double-layer annotations.
Use this tag to display Chinese and English text, and the effect is very good.
