AI overview
Kana are two syllabaries—hiragana and katakana—used to write the sound units of Japanese, and they originated from Chinese characters that were adapted to represent Japanese phonetically. They matter because they form the foundation of Japanese writing, allowing speakers to represent the language's sounds in a systematic way.
