Ro (kana)

, 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 [ɾo] (listen) and both originate from the Chinese character 呂. The Ainu language uses a small ㇿ to represent a final r sound after an o sound (オㇿ or).

gollark: You can just host videos yourself on a VPS/home server or something if you don't plan on high traffic and don't want its ad revenue/promotion.
gollark: The rules say "no talking about making it", not "no having pictures of exploding things".
