Car License Plate in Japan
In Japan, one character of hiragana is used on every car license plate.
However, only four characters, 「お」,「し」,「ん」 and 「へ」 don’t be used.
Today, I’d like to introduce these reasons.
「お」： Because this character is very similar to 「あ」.
「し」： Because this character implies 「死 (death)」.
「ん」： Because it is difficult to pronounce this character.
「へ」： Because this character implies 「屁 (poot)」, and there is a possibility that interferes your driving by laughing.
Until today, I didn’t know these facts. Hehehe.
