Kanji, Hiragana, and Furigana questions

What is the difference between Hiragana and Furigana output?

Hiragana replaces Kanji with their readings. Furigana keeps the original Kanji and displays the reading above it.

What is Ruby HTML?

Ruby is the standard HTML markup for pronunciation annotations. Supporting browsers display the reading above or beside its Kanji base text.

Are names and place readings always correct?

No. Names, places, ateji, titles, and rare vocabulary can have special readings, so important output should be checked.
