Unicode Version 17.0
ゟ
U+309F "ゟ" Hiragana Digraph Yori is a rarely used ligature in the Japanese hiragana script, representing a single character that combines the two kana "よ" and "り." Historically employed as a shorthand in classical Japanese writing, it functioned as a grammatical particle meaning "from" or "than," and it is still occasionally encountered in modern contexts, such as in calligraphy or traditional stationery, but it is largely obsolete in everyday digital text and standard Japanese typography.
