Kana (Hiragana and Katakana)

The Kana tab serves as a quick, interactive reference guide for Japanese syllabaries.

Switching Modes

A toggle pill is prominently located at the top of the screen:

• Hiragana (あ) – The primary Japanese syllabary used for native words and grammar.
• Katakana (ア) – The syllabary used for loanwords, foreign names, and emphasis.

Clicking the toggle instantly swaps the displayed character grid.

Character Cards

Each kana character is displayed inside a responsive, hoverable card grid. Each card contains:

1. The Character – Rendered in a large, clean font for high visibility.
2. Romaji Reading – Displayed in a smaller, muted font at the bottom of the card to help you memorize the pronunciation.

💡 Tip: If you are struggling to memorize these, try using the Romaji to Kana Converter (found in the Tools menu) to practice typing them out!
