      ​@@D34DLYS1NNSwell japanese aplhabet or writhing was originated on chinese but they use 3 writhing characters which is Hiragana,Katakana and Kanji
      hiragana is use for asking,talking or some japanese main language like watashi or any japanese words they use
      katakana is uses for naming a foreign words or objects like computer,hamburger,cakes and many foreign or english words and objects
      kanji was originated by chinese character writing and they use kanji for naming a person or a place
      this is what i understand of how they use these 3 writing form,im so sorry if i didn't give you i specific explaination but i hope you understand what's i wanted to say

    女 is pronounced in various ways...
    For example, they're pronounced as おんな (Onna) when alone and it means woman. But if it comes in a word like for example 彼女 (Kanojo) meaning girl, it is pronounced as じょ (Jo).

    Technically since “女” has multiple readings (onyomi and kunyomi) it can either be pronounced as “jo” (ex. “少女”), onna (ex. 女の子) and “me” (ex. 乙女/少女)

    Its more complex than that.
    The 'nyou' 'nyo' reading is (1) a borrowed reading from its origanal chinese sound and or (2) because of the character combined with it to form another word.
    (3) 女 is a combination of 3 characters

      ノ
