Fun facts

  • Katakana ワ comes from part of the kanji 和, while hiragana わ developed from a cursive man'yōgana form.
  • ワ can be confused with ウ because both have a top mark and angular body, but ワ lacks the central downward stroke.
  • ワ does not normally take dakuten or handakuten in standard modern kana.
