Katakana is one of the three writing systems used in the Japanese language, alongside Hiragana and Kanji. It is primarily used for transcription of foreign words, technical and scientific terms, and sometimes for emphasis. Katakana characters are more angular and straightforward compared to Hiragana, which is more cursive. Each Katakana character represents a syllable rather than a single sound, and the script is essential for writing loanwords, names, and onomatopoeia in Japanese.
