Fun facts

  • Katakana コ comes from part of the kanji 己, while hiragana こ developed from a cursive man'yōgana form.
  • コ can be confused with ユ because both are squared shapes, but コ is open on the left while ユ has a bottom stroke.
  • Adding dakuten changes コ into ゴ, shifting the sound to its voiced counterpart.
