ヘ (he) Japanese meaning: 6th in iroha order | Kotomora
じ 字 Furigana
Don't confuse with ハ and ヘ are both single-character iroha labels with visually simple katakana shapes, and beginners can mix up which one marks the third versus the sixth item.
イ marks the first position in the iroha order while ヘ marks the sixth, so learners must keep the sequence straight rather than the words themselves.
Etymology Derived from the katakana character ヘ, which occupies the sixth position in the traditional iroha ordering. The musical note usage comes from the Western note naming convention where F corresponds to ヘ in Japanese.
