Okoto point, Okoto stop point, Okoto climbing point
A symbol indicating a verb conjugation ending, auxiliary verb, or particle that is added to read Chinese texts in Japanese, placed around the kanji or on the face of the character. ・ / There are many forms, such as 七とそナヘゆめ○いよひ. The reading is determined by the position and form of the symbol. The reading differs among many schools (see diagram). In the very early Heian period, when simple katakana had not yet been fully developed, it developed as a symbol that could be written quickly without soiling scriptures, in order to learn and convey readings in Japanese.
