Meaning

The <rt> element is used within a <ruby> tag to create ruby text, or annotations or pronunciation guides for words and phrases.

The base text should be enclosed in a <ruby> element; the annotation, enclosed in an <rt> element, will appear as smaller text above the base text.

Ruby parentheses should be set with <rp> elements to provide fallback for browsers without ruby support.

Note: The <rt> element must be used within the <ruby> element.
