Rich Text: Ruby Annotations Support

In Roblox, there are various rich text features, like creating new lines, bolding text, etc.

But a significant one that should be added is called Ruby.

Ruby has the ability to render text above text, like this:

But currently, it would show up as something like this:

Quite buggy, but this would be really useful for Japanese translating, look at a screenshot from another (non-roblox) game:

Ruby text is really common in Japanese games, especially in Nintendo games
This would be really nice as it can be used to help Japanese speakers understand the text if they don’t understand Kanji.

It would also be used in various other ways, like UK using Crisps instead of Chips, like this:

These are just a few examples, but it can be very useful and can be used for a lot of different things.

This is really needed.
All Japanese learn kanji at school from 6 years old but it takes about 10 years.
This is essential for games which targeting wider generations include children!!
