Love this and was my first introduction to the <ruby> HTML element (this feels like a great expanded use case). Also couldn't agree more re: your point on the resurrection of "old internet" blogs, it's a trend I'm very much enjoying.

Ruby is used extensively for Japanese (hiragana) and Chinese (bopomofo) -- you can see it on wiktionary, e.g. in the definition of manga [1]. The Rules for Simple Placement of Japanese Ruby spec [2] provides various examples of ruby formatting and layout.

Added to the feed.

I'm somewhat disappointed that I couldn't find a unicode character corresponding to the "long r". Anyway this is peak typography and delighted to see efforts to put proper clóscríobh on the web. Pairs nicely with an ogham terminal.

edit: I just hadn't been looking hard enough, in Latin Extended-D there is indeed a "small letter insular r": ꞃ
