Pronunciation[edit]
Syllable[edit]
と゚ (romaji tu)
- (nonstandard) (obsolete) The hiragana syllable と゚ (tu). Its equivalent in katakana is ト゚ (tu).
Usage notes[edit]
This character is a borrowing from the Ainu syllable ト゚, and is not included in JIS X 0213.
During the Edo period, some tōon literary materials used this kana to transcribe the Chinese syllable /tu/. This is no longer common today, as とぅ is preferred for all transcriptions of /tu/ instead.
