History edit

It is presumed that yi would have represented [ji].[2] Along with 𛀁 (ye) and 𛄟 (wu), the syllable yi has no officially recognized kana, as these syllables do not occur in native Japanese words; however, during the Meiji period, linguists almost unanimously agreed on the kana for yi, ye, and wu. 𛀆 (yi) and 𛄟 (wu) are thought to have never occurred as syllables in Japanese, and 𛀁 (ye) was merged with え and エ as a result of regular historical sound changes.

Characters edit

In the Edo period and the Meiji period, some Japanese linguists tried to separate kana i and kana yi. The shapes of characters differed with each linguist. 𛀆 and 𛄠 were just two of many shapes.

They were phonetic symbols to fill in the blanks of the gojuon table, but Japanese people did not separate them in normal writing.
