Japanese hiragana above kanji
I did some digging regarding the Japanese characters above other characters and came across s, also called "furigana". Ruby is supported by most modern browsers that use HTML5. For Gomoku Narabe Renju it would be 五目ごもく ならべ 連珠れんじゅ.

You can use the following markup to achieve it: All tags opened and closed: 五目ごもく ならべ 連珠れんじゅ

Foregoing the base tag (): 五目ごもく</rt> ならべ 連珠れんじゅ</rt>

Foregoing the closing tags (The syntax highlighter will yell, but it still works): 五目ごもく ならべ 連珠れんじゅ You can read more about the markup here. --CanvasK (talk) 16:57, May 30, 2020 (EDT)
 * A few NIWA wikis also have furigana templates, like WiKirby. I think there was a proposal to add one to SmashWiki sometime in the past? If not, it might be a good time to bring it up again. ~ Serena Strawberry  (talk) 17:11, May 30, 2020 (EDT)
 * I have wikicode on a separate, personal wiki that uses furigana. I could potentially run it by people and see what they think. Aidan,  the Rurouni  22:40, May 30, 2020 (EDT)


 * (edit conflict) I wasn't able to see it on the proposal pages sadly, but with the langtable proposal getting a lot of support I imagine a furigana template would be useful for that.
 * Also, Turtle according to the link I posted this is also valid way:
 * 五目ごもくならべ連珠れんじゅ
 * By having an empty  tag you can have characters without annotations and also without needing to close and reopen a tag. Though this all doesn't matter if the template gets implemented. --CanvasK (talk) 22:47, May 30, 2020 (EDT)
