Ruby (or furigana in Japanese) is commonly used in Far Eastern scripts to provide phonetic transcriptions of the complex ideographic characters where such characters are obscure, or where the reader is assumed to not yet know how to read the character.
An approach to implementing ruby markup in a schema is described by the W3C's Ruby Annotation Specification.
