In the spec the use of the rp-tag is shown like this:

What semantic function has the rp-tag? No. It is only styling for
browsers not supporting ruby-text.
So I think this element musn't be in the HTML5 spec. You can add the
brackets before and after the ruby text using CSS pseudoclasses (:after,
:before).
Putting ruby content into CSS is a really really bad idea since
this will become generated content and have all the issues of
selectability and voice-over readability of generated content...
