Character of the Japanese writing system
fu unicode U+3075, U+30D5 braille Note: This syllable was historically pronounced as "Pu".
ふ , in
handakuten
(ぷ, プ) they both represent a "pu" sound.
The katakana フ is frequently combined with other vowels to represent sounds in foreign words. For example, the word "file" is written in Japanese as ファイル (fairu), with ファ representing a non-native sound, fa .
In certain
Okinawan writing systems, ふ/フ can be written as ふぁ, ふぃ, ふぇ to make both
fa ,
fi , and
fe sounds as well as representing the sounds
hwa ,
hwi , and
hwe . In the Ryukyu University system, fa/hwa is written using the
wa kana instead, ふゎ/フヮ.
[1] In the
Ainu language the katakana with a handakuten プ can be written as a small ㇷ゚ to represent a final p sound. In the Sakhalin dialect, フ without a handakuten can be written as small ㇷ to represent a final h sound after an u sound (ウㇷ uh ).
