, in hiragana, or in katakana, (romanised as ro) is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represents one mora. The hiragana is written in one stroke, katakana in three. Both represent the sound [ɽo] ~ [ɺo] ( listen) and both have origins from the Chinese character 呂. In the Ainu language, Japanese linguists developed a small ㇿ that is used to represent a final r sound after an o sound (オㇿ or).
