Man'yōgana古 姑 枯 故 侯 孤 児 粉 己 巨 去 居 忌 許 虚 興 木

(Kodomo no "ko")
Note: These Man'yōgana originally represented morae with one of two different vowel sounds, which merged in later pronunciation.

, in hiragana or in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represents one mora. Both represent IPA: [ko]. The shape of these kana comes from the kanji .

This character may be supplemented by a dakuten; it becomes ご in hiragana, ゴ in katakana and go in Hepburn romanization. Also, the pronunciation is affected, transforming into [ɡo] in initial positions and varying between [ŋo] and [ɣo] in the middle of words.

A handakuten (゜) does not occur with ko in normal Japanese text, but it may be used by linguists to indicate a nasal pronunciation [ŋo].
