This appendix explains characters written in theKatakana script.

The table below shows thegojūon table with all katakana characters, except alternative versions such as small characters or with diacritics, as they are most commonly organized.

Another ordering system is theiroha, based on a Japanese poem that, if written in katakana, each character appears exactly once, similarly to apangram:

イロハニホヘトチリヌルヲワカヨタレソツネナラムウヰノオクヤマケフコエテアサキユメミシヱヒモセス

These are katakana characters written in small size. They often serve functions different from those of their normal-size counterparts.
