(Redirected from ヲ)

'を', in hiragana, or 'ヲ' in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. This kana is used almost exclusively as a particle; as such, the katakana form ('ヲ') is fairly uncommon in everyday language. Generally pronounced (IPA) , although some dialects retain the pronunciation [wo], which is also often used in songs.
Transliterated variably as 'o' or 'wo', with the former being faithful to pronunciation but the latter avoiding confusion with お and オ.
