This element represents a collection of phonetic properties that affect the display of phonetic text for this String Item (si).

Phonetic text is used to give hints as to the pronunciation of an East Asian language, and the hints are displayed as text within the spreadsheet cells across the top portion of the cell. Since the phonetic hints are text, every phonetic hint is expressed as a phonetic run (rPh), and these properties specify how to display that phonetic run.

[Example:

The phonetic text character, "カ" is displayed over the "課" character and the phonetic text "ケ" is displayed above the "毛" character, using the font record in the style sheet at index 1.
