Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+306F "は" Hiragana Letter Ha is a fundamental syllabic character used in the Japanese writing system, representing the sound "ha" and serving as both a standalone kana in native Japanese words and a grammatical particle indicating the topic of a sentence. It belongs to the Hiragana block of Unicode, encoded alongside other characters to support digital text representation of the Japanese language, and its design derives from the cursive style of the kanji character "波" meaning "wave." In modern usage, "は" is essential for constructing sentences in Japanese, particularly when used as the topic marker, where its pronunciation shifts to "wa" in spoken speech while retaining the same written form.
