why do some people put a letter in front of the japanese character?

If doing that makes the tuning better, I would love to know more about it. I use a CVC btw.
what is the term i mentioned in the title called? and how do you use it?

Are you referring to USTs that look like this?


The lyric in each note is vowel-consonant-vowel, or VCV. This allows the syllables to blend together more smoothly, and requires specially recorded and configured voicebanks. This is also referred to as 連続音, if you're downloading voicebanks from Japanese websites.
