To accurately transcribe the "e" sound found in the English word "pocket", only the character ケ, which is pronounced as /kɛ/, can be used. However, in Japanese, the orthography and pronunciation of "e" sounds presents no ambiguity.
(Compare the way you pronounce the "e" in "pocket" with the way you pronounce the "e" in "peel" to see this for yourself.) The mark in question is an acute accent mark and is absolutely intended to mimic the native Japanese pronunciation, which itself is based on the English words "pocket monster".īecause of English orthography, there is considerable ambiguity surrounding the pronunciation of the character "e".
