It depends what form of こと you're asking.
there's different kanjis for it and there's a particle
The most common Kanji for こと is 事 in my opinion. It means thing/matter but metaphorically.
It's used when you emphatise some stuff what you're talking in a sentence.
事（こと）nominalising suffix, noun — thing, matter; incident, event; situation; business, affair.
言（こと）noun — word, remark, statement.
琴（こと）noun — koto (13-string Japanese musical instrument).
古都（こと）noun — ancient city, former capital.
糊塗（こと）noun, -suru verb — cover up, gloss over.
異（こと）-na adjective — unusual, extraordinary.
如（こと）adverbial noun — like, similar to, same as.
こと particle — indicates a command (+feminine speech has other purposes).- ↑Eight different words, all of them pronounced "こと"...
