U+30C6 "テ" Katakana Letter Te Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
テ
U+30C6 "テ" Katakana Letter Te is a character used in the Japanese writing system, specifically representing the syllable "te" in the katakana syllabary, which is primarily employed for transcribing foreign words, onomatopoeia, and technical terms. Its visual form, composed of two diagonal strokes above a horizontal line, is derived from a simplified portion of the kanji character "天." In modern Japanese, this character appears in common loanwords such as テレビ (terebi, meaning television) and テスト (tesuto, meaning test), and it is also used in various linguistic and computational contexts requiring Unicode standardization.
