Fun facts

  • ズ is formed by adding dakuten to ス.
  • The dakuten marks change the base sound from ス's unvoiced consonant to a voiced consonant.
  • In modern standard Japanese, ズ is the usual katakana spelling for the zu sound; ヅ is rare and mostly appears in special spellings or historical-style forms.
