What dot letter gets a sound in Japanese?

In Japanese, the dot (.) is not a letter and does not represent any sound.

However, there are a few instances where dots are used:

* Periods: Used at the end of sentences, similar to English.

* Diacritics: Some Japanese words, particularly loanwords, use diacritics like the small "tsu" (っ) or the small "ya" (ゃ) that are written above the letter. These can be considered part of the letter, not separate dots.

If you're interested in Japanese sounds and letters, I recommend exploring the Japanese syllabary (hiragana and katakana) and the Japanese alphabet (romaji).
