(Redirected from サ)

'さ', in hiragana, or 'サ' in katakana, or 'sa' in Romaji under Hepburn romanisation (IPA: ), is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. The shapes of these kana originate from '左' and '散', respectively.
Like き, the hiragana character may be written with or without linking the lower line to the rest of the character.
The character may be combined with a dakuten, changing it into ざ in hiragana, ザ in katakana, and ''za'' in Romaji. The pronunciation is also changed, to .
