U+30D5 "フ" Katakana Letter Hu Unicode Character

U+30D5 "フ" Katakana Letter Hu is a character in the Japanese katakana syllabary that represents the syllable "fu" despite its official name using "Hu," a historical transliteration of the Japanese labiodental sound. It is part of the Katakana block and is used primarily to write loanwords, foreign names, onomatopoeia, and for emphasis in Japanese text. In modern Japanese, "フ" is typically pronounced as an unvoiced bilabial fricative, similar to "fu" in English, and it forms the basis for other combined katakana characters like "ファ" (fa), "フィ" (fi), "フェ" (fe), and "フォ" (fo) when used with small vowel marks.
