Etymology Edit
The hiragana character う ( u ) with a dakuten (゛ ). The hiragana ゔ , ゕ and ゖ were introduced for hiragana-katakana correspondence with ヴ , ヵ and ヶ in the Japanese input method in Fujitsu OASYS [1] and then registered in JIS X 0213 [2] .
Pronunciation Edit
IPA (key ) : [vɯ̟ᵝ]
IPA (key ) : [bɯ̟ᵝ] ( some speakers, especially older people )
ゔ (romaji vu )
( rare ) alternative form of ヴ with no meaningful usage Usage notes Edit
This is a relatively recent addition to kana usage to represent the non-native sound vu . As such, this usage is only found in borrowed words. Some speakers, especially older people, may pronounce this as /bu/ , [bɯ̟ᵝ] .
