(Redirected from ツ)

'つ', in hiragana, or 'ツ' in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora, pronounced ''.
Not to be confused with sokuon, which are identical but somewhat smaller.
Also note that, as in the other -u kana, the 'u' sound is very subtle; unless well-articulated, this kana sounds fairly close to 'ts' alone.
