This kana is commonly used as a grammatical particle meaning 'also' or 'too', and it can replace other particles like 『が』 or 『を』 to add emphasis. For example, in the sentence 『わたしも いく』 (watashi mo iku, 'I will also go'), it indicates inclusion. It can also be used in negative contexts to mean 'not even' or 'neither', as in 『なにも ない』 (nanimo nai, 'there is nothing').
