Ro (kana)

Ro (kana)

, in hiragana, or in katakana, (romanised as ro) is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represents one mora. The hiragana is written in one stroke, katakana in three. Both represent and both have origins from the Chinese character 呂. In the Ainu language, Japanese linguists developed a small ㇿ that is used to represent a final r sound after an o sound (オㇿ or).
