U+3075 "ふ" Hiragana Letter Hu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+3075 "ふ" Hiragana Letter Hu is a fundamental character in the Japanese writing system, representing the syllable "fu" in modern pronunciation, though its historical Romanization often lists it as "hu" due to its phonetic origins. This character derives from the Chinese character 不 and is part of the Hiragana script, which is used primarily for native Japanese words, grammatical particles, and verb endings. As a cursive and simplified script, Hiragana plays a crucial role in Japanese orthography alongside Katakana and Kanji, and "ふ" appears frequently in everyday vocabulary, such as in the word "fuji" (藤) for wisteria or in the particle へ (he), which is pronounced differently. Its distinctive shape, with a curved top and a single horizontal stroke, makes it easily recognizable in written and digital text.
