One is printed (the left) one is the written form (the right)
Same with a in Latin alphabet which does not have the little thingy on top in written form
These are not two versions. These are the same but the right one is handwritten so it only seems different. The same thing I could say about letter “a” in the alphabet. BTW, this applies on き too.
Depends on the font, too. Like everyone has mentioned, you can tell the left one has stroke patterns and the lines don’t have a consistent thickness, like when you write or brush a character. The left one is computer generated and probably more seen in printed fonts.
さあ🤣
Shhhh

They are literally just different fonts. Search for Japanese fonts to see how much variation there really is.
It’s not important for you to write it perfectly, what’s important is that you and other people can read it.

I just started Japanese too and from what I can tell it’s perfectly fine to do it both ways. However, I see the one on the left used for often.
Your image wasn’t centred correcetly and I had to fix it.
Ah thanks for posting this. Also, one that always throws me off is Ta vs. Na. Similar looking kana / kanji will be the death of me.
It’s normal, I sometimes write in さ
There’s no different between the left one and right one, these two are just different font by the same Japanese character “sa”.
If you want to know, the left one is most used, and the right one’s font is simulate Asian writing art, you can search the word “maobizi” to get more information.
Ive been just thinking the same since isn’t chi written the same way as sa on the left? ち
jesus christ i cant find the written form of the letter anywhere on google to copy it… can someone please type the letter to me so i can copy it please
And り リ. I know the kana version looks lit it but there’s two ri versions in hira
im late but its like a font in the english alphabet. you type A like “a” but write it in real life like “α”

ゴシック体 and 明朝体 as if Sans vs. Serif
Why is “a” different?
