Fun facts

  • Katakana ノ comes from part of the kanji 乃, while hiragana の developed from a cursive man'yōgana form.
  • ノ can be confused with the first stroke of several katakana, but as a character it is only a single curved diagonal stroke.
  • ノ does not normally take dakuten or handakuten in standard modern kana.
