を
This hiragana is special. It is used only as a particle and is never used for any other purpose. Its pronunciation is exactly the same as 「お」. To distinguish it, we call 「を」 muzukashii “wo” (the “difficult wo”), and it is written as “wo” in Romanization.
※Romanization – the system of writing Japanese using the Latin alphabet (the letters used in English) to represent Japanese sounds
ん
This hiragana is also special. No Japanese word starts with this character. There is a game called しりとり (shiritori), a word-chain game. One person says a word, and the next person must say a word that starts with the last sound of the previous word. A person who says a word ending with 「ん」 loses.
