U+30B1 "ケ" Katakana Letter Ke Unicode Character

U+30B1 "ケ" Katakana Letter Ke is a character from the Japanese katakana syllabary, representing the sound "ke" and used primarily for writing foreign loanwords, onomatopoeia, and scientific terms. It is derived from the kanji 計 and visually resembles a simplified version of that character, with two short strokes extending to the left from a longer vertical line. In modern Japanese, it functions as a core component of the writing system alongside hiragana and kanji, and it holds a standardized position in Unicode's Katakana block, which was encoded to facilitate digital text processing and international data exchange.
