(Redirected from こ)

'こ', in hiragana, or 'コ' in katakana, or 'ko' in Romaji with Hepburn romanisation (IPA: ), is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. The shape of these kana comes from the kanji '己'.
This character may be supplemented by a dakuten; it becomes ご in hiragana, ゴ in katakana, and ''go'' in Romaji. Also, the pronunciation is affected, transforming into .
