Kana? What is this character?
I keep noticing a character that looks like the Hiragana for tsu, however, it is smaller and seems to be silent. Anyone know what is is?

It indicates a double consonant.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

the small tsu is used when you want to have a jumping sound. For example:
Nakunatta (lost): なくなった that has the small tsu, and if it was just a regular tsu, it would be
Nakunatsuta: なくなつた
I hope that helps, it is confusing to learn...
