はんだくてん (rōmaji handakuten)

    1. derive the kana for a mora onsetted with /p/ from the kana for a mora onsetted with /h/
    2. orthographically phonetically denote [ŋ], a realization of /ɡ/ especially occurring word-medially, instead of the standard dakuten ゛, chiefly in pronunciation dictionaries
