U+1B0E8 "𛃨" Hentaigana Letter Yo-2 is a historical variant form from the Japanese writing system, specifically representing a hentaigana, or alternative cursive shape, for the syllable "yo" as used in classical kana orthography. This character belongs to the Hentaigana block within Unicode, added to preserve and encode these non-standard, aesthetic calligraphically derived variants that were common in pre-modern Japanese texts before the standardization of modern hiragana.
