Hello,
Here is a quick article to present the differences in pronunciation induced by the use of the dakuten, also called tenten: ゙ and the handakuten (also called maru): ゚
When the dakuten is added to the characters:
かきくけこ [ka ki ku ke ko]
it gives:
がぎぐげご [ga go gu ge go].
When the dakuten is added to the characters:
さしすせそ [sa shi su se so]
it gives:
ざじずぜぞ [za ji zu ze zo].
When the dakuten is added to the characters:
たちつてと [ta chi tau the to]
it gives:
だぢづでど [da ji zu de do].
When the dakuten is added to the characters:
はひふへほ [ha hi hu he ho]
it gives:
ばびぶべぼ [ba bi bu be bo].
When the handakuten is added to the characters:
はひふへほ [ha hi hu he ho]
it gives:
ぱぴぷぺぽ [pa pi pu pe po].
