Feb 28, 2019 at 0:28 comment added brass tacks @Mitch: Pitch accent is distinctive in Tokyo-type accents of Japanese.
Feb 28, 2019 at 0:23 comment added Mitch And pitch accent is distinctive (that is, you'd need context to determine what pitch accent there is straight from writing) ?
Feb 28, 2019 at 0:19 comment added brass tacks @Mitch: Japanese katakana doesn't mark pitch accent. Also, it's typically only used as one part of the Japanese writing system, which is non-phonetic as a whole. In Japanese texts written exclusively in katakana, Wikipedia suggests that the ヲ would be used to write the "wo" grammatical particle, which is (usually) homophonous with オ as [o].
