Pronunciation: Kitsune
Hiragana: きつね
Katakana: キツネ
Kanji: 狐
This is just translated fox. There is no ‘female’ fox. If you would like to say a girl fox you could say…
Pronunciation: Mesu no Kitsune
Kanji: 雌の狐
Hiragana: めすのきつね
Katakana: メスノキツネ
Symbol: ♀
雌ギツネ
mesugitsune
(kitsune means fox, not necessarily a female fox))
(‘in writing not symbols” doesn’t mean anything. It’s all writing, and it’s all symbols. What you mean to say is in Romanization (or romaji), not Japanese characters).
雌の狐 (mesunokitsune, pronounced “meh-soo-no-kee-tsoo-neh”) if you’re being quite specific that it’s a vixen, or 狐 (kitsune, “kee-tsoo-neh”) for just “fox.”
What you call “writing” is “romaji,” by the way. And Japanese writing isn’t “symbols,” it’s either kanji, hiragana or katakana. 雌 and 狐 are kanji, and の is hiragana.
