を (wo)
Pagbigkas
Ang karakter na を ay kumakatawan sa pantig na 'wo', ngunit sa modernong Hapon ay binibigkas na halos kapareho ng 'o' (gaya ng お). Ang tanging modernong gamit nito ay bilang particle ng tuwirang layon, na nagmamarka kung ano ang inaaksyunan ng pandiwa — isa sa pinakakaraniwang particle sa wika. Hindi mo makikita ang を sa loob ng karaniwang bokabularyo; lumilitaw ito bilang gramatikong particle lamang.
Gabay sa Bawat Guhit
Ang を ay isinusulat sa tatlong guhit. Guhit 1: isang maikling pahalang na linya malapit sa itaas. Guhit 2: isang mahabang diyagonal na guhit na tumatawid sa guhit 1 at sumusuyod patungong kaliwa-ibaba. Guhit 3: isang mahabang umaagos na nakakurbang guhit na nagsisimula sa kanang itaas, tumatawid sa gitna ng karakter, sumusuyod pababa at pakanan, at nagtatapos sa maliit na kawit pataas sa kanang ibaba.

- くちぶえをふく (kuchibuewofuku) — sumipol
- はをみがく (hawomigaku) — magsipilyo ng ngipin
