Character of the Japanese writing system
o
In Japanese writing , the kana お (hiragana ) and オ (katakana ) occupy the fifth place, between え and か , in the modern Gojūon (五十音) system of collating kana . In the Iroha , they occupy the 27th, between の and く . In the table at right (ordered by columns, from right to left), お lies in the first column (あ行, "column A") and the fifth row (お段, "row O"). Both represent [o] .
