Fun facts

  • ビャ is a yōon combination made from ビ plus small ャ; it represents one blended syllable, not two separate kana sounds.
  • The hiragana equivalent is びゃ, using the same base-plus-small-kana pattern.
  • The second kana in ビャ is written small to show that it modifies the preceding consonant-vowel kana.
  • The dakuten on ビ voices the base sound; without it, the related combination would start with ヒ.
