I don’t have anything really big to write about today, but just figured since it is October 10, I’d be silly and mention something off the wall.

Ten-ten is a modifier in Japanese, altering the pronuciation of basic hiragana and looks something like one pair of shortened quotation marks. It affects the characters in such a way that, for example, the “ka” character with the ten-ten will then become “ga.” The link at the beginning of this paragraph gives more examples, as well as introduces other modifiers.

That’s it! Nothing else to see here.
