Dakuten and handakuten: Origins, Phonetic shifts & Glyphs

The dakuten (Japanese: 濁点; Japanese pronunciation: [dä̀.kɯ̥̈.té̞ɴ̀, -.té̞ɴ́], lit. 'muddying/voicing mark'), colloquially ten-ten (点々, 'dots'), is a diacritic most often used in the Japanese kana syllabaries to indicate that the consonant of a mora should be pronounced as voiced — for instance, on sounds that have undergone rendaku (sequential voicing).
