Fun facts

  • Katakana キ comes from part of the kanji 幾, while hiragana き developed from a cursive man'yōgana form.
  • キ can be confused with チ because both have crossing strokes, but キ has two horizontal strokes near the top.
  • Adding dakuten changes キ into ギ, shifting the sound to its voiced counterpart.
