U+30D7 "プ" Katakana Letter Pu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
プ
U+30D7 "プ" Katakana Letter Pu is a character in the Japanese katakana syllabary, representing the syllable "pu." It is used primarily in the Japanese writing system to transcribe foreign loanwords, onomatopoeia, and scientific terms, as well as for emphasis in place of hiragana. This character is composed of a single stroke-like structure that visually conveys the "p" sound, and it belongs to the P-series (ha, hi, fu, he, ho) with a dakuten, a diacritical mark that transforms the "fu" character into "pu." In digital text, it is encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the Katakana block, which includes all standard katakana characters used in modern Japanese.
