Noun edit
半濁点 • (handakuten)
- a diacritical mark, such as ゜ on ぱ, used to:
- derive the kana for a mora onsetted with /p/ from the kana for a mora onsetted with /h/
- orthographically phonetically denote [ŋ], a realization of /ɡ/ especially occurring word-medially, instead of the standard dakuten ゛, chiefly in pronunciation dictionaries
