Probably a silly question. I assume that it is just a stylistic way of writing
some katakana or hiragana that I know. The image is from ヘタリア but I’ve seen it
in a few places. The full sentence is basically “let the global conference
begin.”![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/9HJsV.jpg)

What is this character? 始める_!
This is essentially a duplicate of [Is this character a
そ?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/53835/is-this-
character-a-%e3%81%9d)

I don't like answering in comments, so I'll post it here.

The character is a two-stroke そ with a dakuten: ぞ.
