Furigana in Chinese

[pamokkha]

Hi,

i hope this hasnt been addressed before and that this is the right section.

In Japanese they have the so called Furigana. On top of the Hanzi they write in Kana the pronounciation. Hen fangbian. I know Chinese has no Kana, but they have Zhuyin fuhao (bopomofo). Do you know of any books, that have Zhuyin fuhao on top of the Hanzi for easier reading?

Children's books often have the translation written with the characters. On the mainland, there's Hanyu pinyin under the characters, on Taiwan, there are books with zhuyinfuhao (bopomofo) on the right side of the characters. Taiwan also has a newspaper with zhuyin fuhao, the Guoyu Ribao.

In the United States, I believe 世界日報 usually has a section with 注音符號.

In Chinese, early readings for Children often have the entire text accompanied by Pinyin to help with understanding. In adult text, osbcure words or jagons are usually written in a bracket following the word to help with prounciation.
