U+30E1 "メ" Katakana Letter Me is a character used in the Japanese writing system, specifically as one of the basic katakana symbols, representing the syllable "me." It is derived from the kanji "女" (woman) and is primarily employed to write foreign loanwords, onomatopoeia, and scientific terms where hiragana might be used for native Japanese words. In modern Japanese, "メ" also appears in stylistic contexts such as advertising and manga, and it serves as a visually distinct counterpart to its hiragana equivalent "め."
