· bu
This kana is formed by adding dakuten (voicing marks) to the base kana 『ふ』 (fu), changing the sound to 『ぶ』 (bu). It represents a voiced bilabial plosive sound and is used in native Japanese words and grammatical forms. For example, in the verb 『よぶ』 (yobu, 'to call'), it functions as part of the verb stem.
