Words that use it

  • ちず chizu map 地図
  • くち kuchi mouth

Don't confuse it with

ち curls to the right, さ to the left, and otherwise they are the same shape flipped. If the tail leans the way you read, it is ち.

Watch out

Romanised chi, never ti. Same reason as し: the row is regular on paper and irregular in the mouth.
