The number of characters in a syllabary can vary depending on the specific writing system. For example, the Japanese kana system has 46 basic characters for both hiragana and katakana. In contrast, the Cherokee syllabary contains 85 characters. Each syllabary is designed to represent the syllables of a particular language, so the total can differ widely among different systems.
