Giumo Clanjor provided a solution, but it seems the message went off-list, so
I paste it below:

The "above" element is a mathematical primitive, but so far it seems to work
just fine in this context of Japanese.

Note that you can also simply type any text in Japanese and add the yomigana
later, and to each individual kanji, for accurate possitioning. Like so:

1. Select a kanji
2. Type \above
3. Press Enter
4. Type kana in the little box above the kanji

Now, I imagine I could map the "above" element to a selected word using some
programming, and that way all kanji in the word would get little boxes for
yomigana in a second, to save some typing. I'll try that soon.


Thanks again, Giumo.
