Handakuten (半濁点), colloquially maru ("circle"), is a diacritic used with the kana for syllables starting with h to indicate that they should instead be pronounced with [p].
The combining characters are rarely used in full-width Japanese characters, as Unicode and all common multibyte Japanese encodings provide precomposed glyphs for all possible dakuten and handakuten character combinations in the standard hiragana and katakana ranges.
} Handakuten on ka, ki, ku, ke, ko are not used in normal Japanese writing, but may be used by linguists and in dictionaries to represent the sound of ng in singing (IPA: {{IPA[ŋ]}}), which is an allophone of {{IPA/g/}} in some dialects of Japanese.

 Hiragana - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
All combinations of hiragana with dakuten and handakuten used in modern Japanese are available as precomposed characters, and can also be produced by using a base hiragana followed by the combining dakuten and handakuten characters (U+3099 and U+309A, respectively).
The latter method is used to add the diacritics to kana that are not normally used with them, for example applying the dakuten to a pure vowel or the handakuten to a kana not in the h-group.
U+309B and U+309C are spacing (non-combining) equivalents to the combining dakuten and handakuten characters, respectively.

Hiragana beginning with an h can also add a handakuten marker (゜) changing the h to a p.
The Unicode hiragana block contains precomposed characters for all hiragana in the modern set, including small vowels and yōon kana for compound syllables, plus the archaic wi and we and the rare vu.

Devanagari and related abugidas also use a diacritical mark called a virama to mark the absence of a vowel.
The Japanese hiragana and katakana syllabaries use the dakuten (゛) and handakuten (゜) symbols, also known as ten-ten and maru, to indicate voiced consonants.
Different languages use different rules to put diacritic characters in alphabetical order.

Either that or it's just weird that anybody'd do it that way, which is very possible :) Basically, each character stored in the rom is a two-byte pair.
One is usually null, but when it's not, it shows the little " or circle -- dakuten and handakuten marks -- that modify the sounds of the original Japanese text.
But yeah, one line of text gives two lines of data, very much like having an 8x16 font, except that the top sound-modifier line gets fused with the top window border via a special hybrid character.

 Japanese Sign Language syllabary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All the modifications involve adding an element of motion to the sign.
The dakuten or ten ten, which represents voicing, becomes a sideways motion; the handakuten or maru, used for the consonant p, moves upwards, small kana and silent w move inwards, and long vowels move downwards.
That is, the voiced consonants are produced by moving the sign for the syllable with the corresponding unvoiced consonant to the side.

This is the last of the dakuten and I'll introduce handakuten which turns everything into a P. Let's not dally around.
Below is the drawing for handakuten (Actually it's a circle.

Edit: I don't know exactly why, but when I posted those characters, it broke them up as two characters, while in the fonts I have they are one character...
So basically you can create kana that do not exist because unicode provides us with handakuten to use at our disposal.
If you go to one of the last lessons of the Hiragana lessons, you will find out that these are characters that are called Ten-Ten (Dakuten and Handakuten) and they just change the sounds.

As mentioned above, in Japanese games, there'll usually be a chunk of code cmp-ing the byte read to determine whether or not it is a dakuten/handakuten character, like this: text_read: ldy index ;Same as above examples.

I took the handakuten dakuten accent checks, and converted them to a jsl to my own autoscroll routine.
So my code basically did the same the games did, but scrolled one line instead of 2 and allowed 5 lines on the screen instead of 2 or 3.

Considering that my kiddo has had the book only two days and is already telling me that "kiku" is chrysanthemum and yon-yon (4th day 4th month, or April 4) is Yo-Yo Day in Japan, I think I can safely say the book was a good investment.
Oh, about the "is it complete or is it not?" debate between previous reviewers--they're both wrong :-) The kana characters, when modified with the dakuten (two little lines) or handakuten (tiny circle), do indeed become different "letters" (really syllables), just as an N (en) and an N-tilde (enye) are two different letters in Spanish.
However, the introductory material covers the use of the diacritical marks (dakuten changes K->G, S->Z, T->D, and so on; handakuten changes H->P).

I suppose that's a reasonable idea, except that today I just did a little work in accepting katakana codes as well (in most cases this is exactly the same code at an offset of 96).
I've also done the Hepburn compositions, e.g, if きゃ("ki" plus small "ya") equals "kya", along with dakuten and handakuten transforms just in case they're written as separate characters instead of the unicode composite.
I suppose you could do longest match in a similar way to word matching...
