The gojūon table
The table below shows the gojūon table with all hiragana characters, except alternative versions such as small characters or with diacritics, as they are most commonly organized.

Iroha ordering system
Another ordering system is the iroha, based on a Japanese poem that, if written in hiragana, each character appears exactly once, similarly to a pangram:

いろはにほへとちりぬるをわかよたれそつねならむうゐのおくやまけふこえてあさきゆめみしゑひもせす

Small forms
These are hiragana characters written in small size. They often serve functions different from those of their normal-size counterparts.

Additional symbols
ーゝゞゟ

Origins of the characters
