り, in hiragana, or リ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represent one mora. Both are written with two strokes and both represent the sound ~ . Both originate from the character 利. In the Ainu language, Japanese linguists developed a half-width version of the katakana リ that is used to represent a final r sound after the katakana イ (イㇼ ir).
