Unicode Version 17.0
ョ
U+30E7 "ョ" Katakana Letter Small Yo is a phonetic component in the Japanese writing system, specifically a small-sized kana used to form compound syllables by combining with other characters, such as in "ショ" (sho) or "チョ" (cho). Unlike its full-sized counterpart "ヨ" (yo), this small version does not stand alone as a mora but instead modifies the preceding consonant sound, often indicating a palatalized pronunciation. It is part of the katakana script, which is typically employed for foreign loanwords, onomatopoeia, and technical terminology.
