HY
ヒャヒュヒョ — The HY Row
01
Read “hya, hyu, hyo”
The HY set is a full-size ヒ (hi) plus a small ャ, ュ, or ョ: ヒ + ャ = ヒャ (hya), ヒ + ュ = ヒュ (hyu), ヒ + ョ = ヒョ (hyo), one syllable each. Of the three, ヒュ is the one you'll actually use in loanwords (“human,” “fuse”); ヒャ and ヒョ stay rare.
One syllable: ヒュ is “hyu,” one beat — think of the start of “human.” The small ャ ュ ョ sit at about half height in the lower right.
