五十嵐さん,
Thank you for this website. I actually search for information like this
for a long time.
Do you happen to know any Japanese book which explains even more (Maybe
even talking about Chinese and Korean typesetting)?

Hi Wilfred,
The Korean hangul script is already phonetic, so it does not need ruby. Kanji

See Mike's answer to me. I had been reading the fontspec docs recently
