Character of the Japanese writing system
よ , in hiragana or ヨ in katakana , is one of the Japanese kana , each of which represents one mora . The hiragana is made in two strokes, while the katakana in three. Both represent [jo ].
When small and preceded by an -i kana, this kana represents a palatalization of the preceding consonant sound with the [o] vowel (see yōon ).[ 1]
In mathematics , よ is sometimes used to represent the Yoneda embedding .[ 2]
