ゕ (HIRAGANA LETTER SMALL KA) is a hiragana character written in its “small” form, corresponding to the “ka” sound family. Like other small kana, it is typically used for specialized orthography where a reduced-sized character changes how the text is read or how it should be set typographically. In practice, the most important aspect is using the exact character (U+3095) rather than a look‑alike, so that spelling, rendering, and searching work correctly across fonts and systems.
