About Hiragana(ひらがな) and Katakana (カタカナ)
Two of the three writing systems used in the Japanese language are hiragana ひらがな and katakana カタカナ. Since each symbol represents a syllable rather than a single letter, they are both syllabic scripts.
Japanese words and grammatical particles are written in the cursive language known as hiragana. There are 46 basic characters in it, and additional sounds can be represented by combining the basic characters with diacritical markings.
Loanwords and foreign names are written in the more angular katakana style. Additionally, it features 46 fundamental characters that are derived from kanji characters in a simplified manner.
For reading and writing in Japanese, Hiragana and Katakana are both necessary. They are frequently used with kanji, a collection of logographic characters that were adapted from Chinese, to form a hybrid writing system.
