Fun facts

Katakana サ comes from part of the kanji 散, while hiragana さ developed from a cursive man'yōgana form.
サ can be confused with せ in some handwriting because both contain a crossbar and downward stroke, though サ is more angular.
Adding dakuten changes サ into ザ, shifting the sound to its voiced counterpart.
