editEtymology
editThe character と with a handakuten.
Pronunciation
editSyllable
edit- (nonstandard, obsolete) The hiragana syllable と゚ (tu). Its equivalent in katakana is ト゚ (tu).
Usage notes
editThis character is a borrowing from the Ainu syllable ト゚, and is not included in JIS X 0213.
During the Edo period, some tōon literary materials used this kana to transcribe the Chinese syllable /tu/. This is no longer common today, as とぅ is preferred for all transcriptions of /tu/ instead.
