  1. diacritic kana mark that turns an unvoiced consonant into a voiced consonant
  2. This term refers specifically to the markings (二重線) used in kana (the Japanese phonetic script) to indicate the change from an unvoiced sound, such as "k," "s," "t," "h," to its voiced counterpart like "g," "z," "d," "b." It is essential for proper pronunciation and meaning in written Japanese.
    Without the diacritic mark, "kaki" becomes "gaki."
    The word "saru" becomes "zaru" with the diacritic mark.
