character data

Note

Where the place attribute is not provided on the <rt> element, the default assumption is that the ruby gloss is above where the text is horizontal, and to the right of the text where it is vertical.

Example

The word 大統領 daitōryō (president) is glossed character by character in hiragana to provide a pronunciation guide.

<p style="writing-mode: vertical-rl"
 xml:lang="ja">
