KATAKANA LETTER RA is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Basic Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of KATAKANA LETTER RA is Left-to-Right (Strong). It belongs to the strong left-to-right characters..

The Left-to-Right (L) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from left to right. This includes most alphabetic characters from Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and other scripts that are typically written in this direction. The presence of L characters in a text influences the overall text directionality in bidirectional contexts.

Other Letter (Lo) refers to letters that do not fit into the uppercase, lowercase, titlecase, or modifier letter categories. These include letters from scripts that do not have case distinction, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, and others. This category is also used for syllabic and ideographic characters that function as letters.

This character belongs to the Katakana block. The Katakana block includes characters used in the Katakana script, which, along with Hiragana, forms one of the two syllabaries used in the Japanese writing system. Katakana is used primarily for foreign loanwords, the names of plants, animals, and companies, and for emphasis, much like italics in English. This block includes all 46 basic Katakana characters, as well as several extended Katakana characters and marks. Katakana plays a crucial role in modern Japanese, especially in the context of technology, international communication, and popular culture..
