U+3074 "ぴ" Hiragana Letter Pi Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+3074 "ぴ" Hiragana Letter Pi is the hiragana character representing the syllable "pi" in the Japanese writing system, formed by adding a dakuten (two small strokes) to the base character "ひ" (hi) to indicate a voiced or, in this case, a plosive bilabial pronunciation. It is a part of the Hiragana block within the Unicode Standard, used primarily in Japanese text for native words, grammatical elements, and rendaku (sequential voicing) in compound words. This character is typically written with a curved stroke on the left and a looped stroke on the right, and its usage follows the phonetic conventions of modern Japanese, where it appears in words like "ピンク" (pinku, meaning pink) when transcribed in hiragana or as a standalone syllable in scripts.
