Hi - I’m having an issue with Furigana displaying correctly above the correct Kanji. I’m only using Japanese Support and Headmap Add-Ons. I’m not sure if I have done something wrong but I’m struggling to resolve this. Has anyone experienced this?

This is my card:

This is how it is displaying

Any help would be appreciated.

I don’t know what you’re you’re trying to have it look like, but it sounds like you’re asking about how the furigana is spreading across the base text. Have you taken a look at your spacing? [Field Replacements - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/templates/fields.html#ruby-characters)

Thank you so much! That resolved it. Appreciate the reply. Happy New Year.

If anyone is having the issue put a single byte space (not double byte, before and after the Kanji and the . You can remove it after but it let’s Anki know where you need the furigana to show up.
