A quick thought about <ruby> text support in the fediverse. Can usernames have ruby text attached? Have you played with that at all @hongminhee? Would be interesting to have pronunciation attached directly above someone name!

@liaizon it's a markup so no if you mean the preferredUsername. display name can be arbitrary text so it would work. probably best to add pronunciation as a custom value on the profile with an established name

@liaizon As far as I know, names cannot have any HTML… 🤔

@hongminhee @liaizon personally I find that a terrible inconsistency in the ActivityStreams vocabulary where the MediaType property refers only to the Content of an Object but not Summary or Name.

@hongminhee I don't mean HTML *in* the username but surrounding an @mention

@hongminhee so like instead of showing your name in (parentheses) next to your icon

@hongminhee could this be done together with the NameMap property when you have internationalized values for your name?

@liaizon

@mariusor @liaizon Probably possible, but the problem is which language should be shown upper.

@hongminhee ideally the one that the user that views the content has set as a default.
