Fun facts

Katakana ソ comes from part of the kanji 曽, while hiragana そ developed from a cursive man'yōgana form.
ソ and ン are a classic trap: ソ is usually written with the longer stroke falling more vertically, while ン has a more horizontal sweep.
Adding dakuten changes ソ into ゾ, shifting the sound to its voiced counterpart.
