U+1B0EA "𛃪" Hentaigana Letter Yo-4 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛃪
U+1B0EA "𛃪" Hentaigana Letter Yo-4 is a specific variant of the hentaigana, or historical cursive forms of Japanese kana, used to write the syllable "yo". Unlike the modern standard hiragana character よ, this glyph represents one of several alternative calligraphic shapes historically employed in premodern Japanese texts before the 1900 standardization of kana. Encoded in Unicode’s Kana Extended-A block, this character serves scholars, typographers, and preservationists by enabling faithful digital reproduction of classical manuscripts and documents that originally used such variant forms.
