Taiwanese kana (タイ𚿳ヲァヌ𚿳ギイ𚿰カア𚿰ビェン𚿳; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tâi-oân-gí ká-bêng) is a katakana-based writing system that was used to write Taiwanese Hokkien (commonly called "Taiwanese") when the island of Taiwan was under Japanese rule. It functioned as a phonetic guide to Chinese characters, much like furigana in Japanese or Bopomofo in Chinese.
