Yori (kana)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

, read as yori, is a kana ligature – a typographic ligature in the Japanese language – consisting of a combination of the hiragana graphs of (/yo/ [jo]) and (/ri/ [ɾi]), and thus represents their combined sound, より (/yori/ [joɾi]) "from". It is drawn with two strokes. It is uncommon and found almost exclusively in vertical writing.
