Fun facts

Katakana ツ comes from part of the kanji 川, while hiragana つ developed from a cursive man'yōgana form.
ツ and シ are a classic trap: ツ has strokes that trend more vertically, while シ has strokes that trend more horizontally.
Adding dakuten changes ツ into ヅ, shifting the sound to its voiced counterpart.
