U+3067 "で" Hiragana Letter De Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+3067 "で" Hiragana Letter De is a syllable in the Japanese writing system, representing the voiced sound "de" as in the English word "debt." It is formed by adding a dakuten, a diacritical mark resembling two small strokes, to the base character "て" (te), which changes its unvoiced consonant to a voiced one. This character is used extensively in Japanese text for grammar particles, verb conjugations, and vocabulary, most notably as the instrumental or contextual particle "de" that indicates the means by which an action is performed or the location where it occurs. As part of the hiragana syllabary, "で" is fundamental to written Japanese and is encoded in the Unicode standard under the Hiragana block, enabling its digital representation across various devices and platforms.
