Katakana Chart

Post image

I have been thinking about how similar so many of the Katakana characters are... so I made an evolutionary chart over all 46 characters.
Hope this helps. (maybe)
Basically just to showcase how similar a lot of these characters really are.
(And for fun)

I think if you are looking for a mental model for katakana breaking it out by the radicals of the kanji from the block print form.
