note
1: the character 'fu' is an exception to the h characters in that it starts with f. as shown in the pronunciation brackets it is pronounced differently too. kc says: all characters starting with h can be changed into other sounds with punctuation marks. the dashes change the characters so they start with b, the little circles make them start with p. kc says: when combined with a little (lower-case) character you compress the sounds of the two characters, making new (more rarely used) characters; pronounced as shown. only the characters shown here can be compressed in this way.
