Ro (hiragana: ろ,katakana: ロ) (romanised asro) is one of the Japanesekana, each of which represents onemora. The hiragana is written in one stroke, katakana in three. Both represent[ɾo]ⓘ and both originate from the Chinese character 呂. TheAinu language uses a small ㇿ to represent a finalr sound after ano sound (オㇿor). The combination of an R-column kana letter withhandakuten ゜ –ろ゚ in hiragana andロ゚ in katakana – was introduced to represent [lo] in the early 20th century.[according to whom?]
