	Ruby character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ruby characters are small, annotative characters that can be placed above or to the side of a character when writing logographic languages such as Chinese or Japanese to show the pronunciation.
		Ruby is sometimes used to provide word-for-word translations of a document to aid a reader who may not know the original language well, but can read another language well.
		Ruby markup is structured such that a fallback rendering, consisting of the ruby characters in parentheses immediately after the main text, will appear if the browser does not have support for ruby.

		"Ruby" is the commonly used name for a run of text that appears in the immediate vicinity of another run of text, referred to as the "base", and serves as an annotation or a pronunciation guide associated with that run of text.
		The ruby structure and the XHTML markup to represent it is described in the Ruby Annotation [RUBY].
		If the width of the ruby text is smaller than that of the base, then the ruby text contents are evenly distributed across the width of the base, with a certain amount of white space preceding the first and following the last character in the ruby text.

	Ruby's Childhood
		In 1911, when Jack Ruby was born, his family resided near 14th and Newberry Streets in Chicago, the first in a series of Jewish neighborhoods in which the Rubensteins lived during his childhood.
		Earl Ruby described one typical neighborhood in which the family lived as a "ghetto" with "pushcarts on the sirens." His sister Eva characterized it as "below the middle class but yet it wasn't the poorest class." The family generally lived near Italian sections, where there were frequent fights along ethnic lines.
		Ruby has indicated that during the depression he served a short jail sentence for the unauthorized sale of copyrighted sheet music.

	Faraday diary Apr 2 - Aug 30, 1856
		Ruby streams or striae fall into the liquid from the floating piece, and the formation and falling down appear to be intermitting-the descent is not all direct from the phosphorus particles, but from a ring around about the eight[h] of an inch off or more.
		Ruby LVIII (14800) with plenty of this salt solution added gradually lost its rose tint and became a blue so feeble as to be almost colourless, but the sunbeam and lens shewed the diffused particles both in the rose and blue parts.
		Ruby paper (14812, 20) was heated in dry vapour of alcohol and ether until the paper charred-but there was no bluing of the gold-no apparent change of the tint before further effect was hidden by browning of the paper.

	CSS3 module: Ruby
		The ruby structure and the HTML markup to represent it is described in the Ruby specification [RUBY].
		In the second example, multiple annotations are attached to a base sequence, the hiragana characters on top refer to the pronunciation of the base Kanji characters, while the word 'University' on the bottom is an annotation describing the English translation of the two last Kanji characters of the base.
		The CSS ruby model is based on the XHTML Ruby Annotation module proposal [RUBY], in which the structure of a ruby closely parallels the visual layout of the ruby element.

		Ruby's co-worker, Rochelle (Allison Dean), says she has plans for college and marriage to her long-distance boyfriend, "all that good stuff." She also warns Ruby to stay away from Mildred's scuzzy playboy son, Ricky (Bentley Mitchum).
		When Ruby is, later, also assaulted in her home, the turn is at once poignant and calculated, political and specific.
		The details of her reactions resonate beyond the cliched observations that men oppress women or women bonding is a good thing: her stillness wrapped in a blanket, her one-line moment of empathy for her inarticulate assailant, her quiet refuge working crummy hours in a laundry room.

	Survival guide to i18n
		Note: as these code points are defined as control characters in iso-8859-1, you are safe to assume that you will not encounter any of these bytes in the normal course of processing user input; and therefore mapping these characters is a safe thing to do.
		All iso-8859-1 characters in the range of 128-191 (hex 80 through BF) need to be preceeded by a byte with the value of 194 (hex C2) in utf-8, but otherwise are left intact.
		All iso-8859-1 characters in the range of 192-255 (hex C0 through FF) not only need to be preceede by a byte with the value of 195 (hex C3) in utf-8, but also need to have 64 (hex 40) subtracted from the iso-8859-1 character value.

		In the new play, a married couple experience a 21st-century American dream that turns out to be a nightmare in which they are at once totally plugged in and utterly disconnected.
		(Ruby Tuesday relies, for plot purposes, on some ideas about love and biology that adoptive parents will justifiably find offensive.) And Melanee has in her possession an illegal "shut-down disc" that will bring crisis -- and a sinister repairman in shorts -- to the perfectly programmed living module of the Carters.
		Early on, Esterman's Jeanine, recalling the song of the title and a spectacular storm of her childhood, asks blankly: "Remember weather?" At the end, in the near-silence that caps all the sound and silliness, there is thunder -- and just a rumbling of real regret.

		I always liked the way Murph and Sap worked around the Smith factor and kept Ruby and Anna Chutesov in play ( Anna was Jim but same thing)and I seem to recall there were other minor characters that Remo managed to keep Smith in the dark over.
		THEN I didn't care for the Ruby character because I felt she got in the way of the CURE trio.
		TODAY however, I'm a bit sentimental for her because her type of female character (tough) really reminds me of the '70s when I was a kid, and I now recognize and respect her place among the chronology of the series.
