U+1B0E2 "𛃢" Hentaigana Letter Ya-Yo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛃢
U+1B0E2 "𛃢" Hentaigana Letter Ya-Yo is a historical variant form of the Japanese hiragana syllable for "ya," also sometimes associated with the "yo" sound, belonging to the set of hentaigana characters used before the modern standard kana system was established. This particular glyph represents an alternative, stylized writing of the syllable that was once commonly employed in classical Japanese texts and calligraphy, but is now primarily of interest to scholars, typographers, and enthusiasts of historical Japanese script. As part of the Hentaigana block in Unicode, it helps preserve and digitally represent these obsolete yet culturally significant letterforms.
