Explanation and Etymology - (片仮名) katakana
片仮名 It is a Japanese word that refers to the set of syllable characters used in Japanese writing, known as Katakana. The word is composed of the kanjis 片 (kata), which means "partial" or "incomplete", and 仮名 (kana), which means "letter or syllable character". Katakana is one of three Japanese writing systems, along with Hiragana and Kanji. It is mainly used to write foreign words, places of places and people, onomatopoeias and some technical expressions. Katakana is composed of 46 characters, each representing a syllable of the Japanese language. Its origin dates back to the 9th century, when Japanese Buddhist monks began to use simplified Chinese characters to transcribe the Japanese language. Over the centuries, these characters have been developing and became the Katakana we know today.How to Write in Japanese - (片仮名) katakana
