(Redirected from ユ)

'ゆ', in hiragana, or 'ユ' in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. Both are written in two strokes. Both are pronounced (IPA) .
Also note that, as in the other -u kana, the 'u' sound is very subtle; unless well-articulated, this kana sounds fairly close to 'y' alone.
When small and accompanied by an -i kana, this kana represents not a separate sound but a modification of that of another (see yōon).
