の (no)
Pagbigkas
Ang karakter na の ay kumakatawan sa pantig na 'no', isang malambot na 'n' na sinusundan ng 'o'. Bahagi ng な-row. Ang particle na の (panghalip-paari na 'ng') ay isa sa pinakakaraniwang salita sa Hapon — palagi mo itong matatagpuan.
Gabay sa Bawat Guhit
Ang の ay isinusulat sa iisang guhit. Magsimula sa kaliwa-itaas, sumuyod nang dayagonal pakanan-ibaba, pagkatapos ay lumiko sa makinis na counterclockwise na loop, na nagtatapos kung saan nagkikita ang kurba sa sarili nito. Ang resulta ay isang saradong bilog na hugis na may maliit na buntot o butas sa kanang ibaba. Panatilihing makinis at bilog ang loop.
