In the Japanese writing system kana ligatures (Japanese: 合略仮名, Hepburn: gōryaku-gana) are ligatures in the kana writing system, both hiragana and katakana.Kana such as koto (ヿ, from 事) and shite (𬼀, from 為) are not kana ligatures, but polysyllabic kana.
This is commonly employed for modern katakana combinations like ティ, which would be entered texi, thi, or t'i. However, on some systems l is treated the same as r when followed by a vowel or "y". じゃ, じゅ and じょ may also be romanized as jya, jyu and jyo respectively.
The long vowel in kō (indicated in katakana by a long line) is shown by moving the sign ko downward. In written kana, a consonant cluster involving y or w is indicated by writing the second kana smaller than the first; a geminate consonant by writing a small tu for the first segment. In foreign borrowings, vowels may also be written small.
Sa (hiragana: さ, katakana: サ) is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora.Both represent [sa].The shapes of these kana originate from 左 and 散, respectively.

Like other vowels, scaled-down versions of the kana (ぃ, ィ) are used to express sounds foreign to the Japanese language, such as フィ (fi).In some Okinawan writing systems, a small ぃ is also combined with the kana く (ku) and ふ to form the digraphs くぃ kwi and ふぃ hwi respectively, although the Ryukyu University system uses the kana ゐ/ヰ instead.
