Yes, that’s tiny characters that appear above kanji in Japanese to
indicate their pronunciation; they’re heavily used in children’s books,
in general works for unusual kanji, and sometimes to show a non-standard
pronunciation as a literary device. They’re called furigana in
Japanese.

I don’t know if they’re used in any other language.
