Actually, the sokuon (Hiragana: っ; Katakana: ッ), presented as small ''tsu'', doubles a ''geminate'' consonant. That means it can double ''k'', ''s'', ''t'' and ''p'', and their voiced variants (''j'' can't be doubled). However, while doubling digraphs (''sh'', ''ch'', ''ts''), only the first letter is doubled, except ''ch'', which, with sokuon, creates ''tch'' (rather than ''cch''). | Actually, the sokuon (Hiragana: っ; Katakana: ッ), presented as small ''tsu'', doubles a ''geminate'' consonant.
