Fun facts

  • Katakana オ comes from part of the kanji 於, while hiragana お developed from a cursive man'yōgana form.
  • オ can be confused with ホ because both include a central vertical stroke and side strokes, but ホ has more symmetrical side marks.
  • オ does not normally take dakuten or handakuten in standard modern kana.
