About the Hiragana Alphabet

Hiragana (ひらがな) is the core Japanese syllabary — the rounded, cursive counterpart to angular katakana. It is the first script Japanese children learn and the one that carries the grammatical skeleton of every sentence: particles like は and を, verb endings, and native words without kanji. Each character represents a whole syllable, which is why the chart is arranged in the gojūon grid of five vowels (a, i, u, e, o) crossed with consonant rows. Furigana — the small reading hints printed above difficult kanji — are also written in hiragana, making it the script you see most often in any Japanese text.

All of these characters live in the Unicode Hiragana block (U+3040–U+309F), so they copy and paste as single glyphs and render correctly on Instagram, TikTok, Discord, X, and virtually every modern device. That makes this chart useful well beyond language study: people grab individual kana like の, つ, or こ for usernames, shop names, and aesthetic bios — の in particular is famously borrowed across East Asia as a stylish possessive marker. Copying from a chart is often quicker than installing a Japanese IME just to type a few characters.

The voiced dakuten forms (が, ざ, だ, ば) and the p-row handakuten forms (ぱ, ぴ, ぷ) are precomposed Unicode characters, not base kana plus a separate mark, so each copies as one glyph. The small kana are independent characters too: ゃ, ゅ, and ょ combine with i-row kana to form sounds like きゃ (kya) and しょ (sho), while the small っ doubles the following consonant, as in きって (kitte, stamp). The rare small ゎ survives mainly in historical spellings but is included for completeness.

How to Use These Characters

  • Click any character to copy it to your clipboard, then paste it anywhere with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac).
  • Use "Copy section" to grab a whole group at once — handy for study notes or flashcard decks.
  • Combine full-size and small kana to build sounds: き + ゃ = きゃ (kya), し + ゅ = しゅ (shu).
  • Use the small っ to double the next consonant: き + っ + て = きって (kitte).
  • For full words and sentences, the online kana keyboard below is faster than copying character by character.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these hiragana characters paste correctly on Instagram and TikTok?

Yes. Every character on this page is standard Unicode from the Hiragana block (U+3040–U+309F), which all modern platforms support. They display correctly in bios, captions, comments, and usernames on Instagram, TikTok, Discord, X, and WhatsApp. The only places they can fail are systems restricted to ASCII, such as some email addresses and legacy forms.

What is the difference between hiragana and katakana?

Both syllabaries represent exactly the same sounds. Hiragana (あいうえお) is rounded and used for native Japanese words, grammar particles, and verb endings; katakana (アイウエオ) is angular and used for loanwords, foreign names, and emphasis. If you need the angular versions, use our katakana copy-paste page — the two charts mirror each other row for row.

How do I write my name in hiragana?

Foreign names are normally written in katakana, not hiragana, but the conversion works the same way — by sound, not letter by letter. Our Name in Japanese tool transliterates an English name automatically, and the online Japanese kana keyboard lets you type it out in either script if you prefer the rounded hiragana look for a username or signature.

Why is の so popular in usernames and shop names?

の is the Japanese possessive particle, roughly "of" or "'s", and its simple looping shape is instantly recognizable. Across Taiwan, Hong Kong, and elsewhere it gets swapped in for possessive words in brand names and usernames as a stylistic flourish. It is a single Unicode character (U+306E), so it pastes cleanly almost anywhere.

Can I copy the entire hiragana alphabet at once?

Yes — the "Copy all" button at the top copies every character on this page, separated by spaces, and each section has its own copy button. That gives you the complete gojūon plus dakuten, handakuten, and small kana in one clipboard action, ready to paste into notes, flashcards, or a study document.
