Tsu (hiragana: つ, katakana: ツ) is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represents one mora. Both are phonemically /tɯ/ , reflected in the Nihon-shiki and Kunrei-shiki Romanization tu , although for phonological reasons , the actual pronunciation is [t͡sɯᵝ] ⓘ , reflected in the Hepburn romanization tsu .
In addition, handakuten can be combined with either katakana ツ or ト (tsu and to) to make a [tu̜] sound, ツ゚ or ト゚. In Miyakoan, handakuten can be used with イ (normally [i]) to represent the vowel [ɨ]. In informal writing, dakuten is occasionally used on vowels to indicate a shocked or strangled articulation; for example, on あ ...
The signs for ko, su, tu (tsu), ni, hu (fu), he, ru, re, ro imitate the shapes of the katakana for those syllables. The signs for no, ri, n trace the way those katakana are written, just as j and z do in ASL. The signs hi, mi, yo, mu, shi, ku, ti (chi) are slight modifications of the numerals 1 hito, 3 mi, 4 yo, 6 mu, 7 shichi, 9 ku, 1000 ti.
せ す (ん)) ordering is used for enumeration in some circumstances. Dictionaries differ in the sequence order for long/short vowel distinction, small tsu and diacritics. As Japanese does not use word spaces (except as a tool for children), there can be no word-by-word collation; all collation is kana-by-kana.

All combinations of hiragana with dakuten and handakuten used in modern Japanese are available as precomposed characters (including the rare ゔ vu), and can also be produced by using a base hiragana followed by the combining dakuten and handakuten characters (U+3099 and U+309A, respectively). This method is used to add the diacritics to kana ...
Yōon and yōon-dakuten are also added to chi and shi to write ti, di and si, zi found in foreign borrowings; similarly gōyōon and gōyōon-dakuten are added to tsu to write tu, du. This differs from the system used in kana, where the base syllables are te and to respectively, and a subscript vowel i or u is added.
Wabun code (和文モールス符号, wabun mōrusu fugō, Morse code for Japanese text) is a form of Morse code used to send Japanese language in kana characters. [1] Unlike International Morse Code, which represents letters of the Latin script, in Wabun each symbol represents a Japanese kana. [2]
