ゆ, in hiragana or ユ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represents one mora. Both the hiragana and katakana forms are written in two strokes and represent the sound {{IPA|[jɯ]}}.
When small and preceded by an -i kana, this kana represents a palatalization of the preceding consonant sound with the {{IPA|[ɯ]}} vowel (see yōon).{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kE3RAgAAQBAJ|chapter=Contracted sounds|title=Japanese Hiragana: An Introductory Japanese Language Workbook|author=Jim Gleeson|publisher=Tuttle Publishing|year=2013|isbn=9781462913978}}

{{asterisk}} The yōon characters ゅ and ュ are encoded in Japanese Braille by prefixing "-u" kana (e.g. Ku, Su) with a yōon braille indicator, which can be combined with the "Dakuten" or "Handakuten" braille indicators for the appropriate consonant sounds.
