Ruby characters (ルビ, Rubi) are small, annotative glosses that can be placed above or to the right of a Chinese character when writing languages with logographic characters such as ChineseorJapanese to show the pronunciation. Typically called just rubyorrubi, such annotations are used as pronunciation guides for characters that are likely to be unfamiliar to the reader.

• {{Ruby|人|rén}} → 人
• {{Ruby|人|ひと}} → 人
• {{Ruby|人|인}} → 人

The first parameter is the base (the lower part) and the second is the Ruby text (the smaller part on top or in parentheses).

• |large=yes enlarges the characters by 250% for use in examples

Examples:

{{Ruby|全|すべ}}て

{{Ruby|媽|mā}}

{{Ruby|large=yes|媽|mā}}

The manner in which the Ruby characters are displayed is dependent upon the browser. For browser support, see Ruby annotationatCan I use.

For example: Base

If you see topBase, then your browser supports Ruby.

If you see Base (top), then your browser does not support Ruby.

• {{ruby line}}
• {{ruby-zh-p}}
• {{ruby-zh-b}}
• {{ruby-ja}}
• {{overset}} for oversetting characters for math and similar uses
