From cursive man'yōgana江. Became obsolete for representingye in the mid-Heian period whenye merged withe in spoken Japanese; later resurrected by linguists in the lateEdo period orMeiji period for representation of Old and Early Classical Japanese.

𛀁• (yeore) 

1. (obsolete) Thehentaigana syllableye ore.

   燃(も)𛀁る ―moeru ―toburn,etymologically from classical燃(も)ゆ(moyu)

2. (obsolete) Thehiragana syllable𛀁 (ye). Its equivalent inkatakana isエ (ye) or𛄡(𛄡) (ye).

• 𛀁 and𛀀 are used to represent the Japanese language before the mid-10th century, in which/e/ and/je/ were different phonemes.

	/e/	/je/
hiragana	え	𛀁
katakana	𛀀	エ [or𛄡]

In modern Japanese, old/e/ and/je/ both evolved into/e/, and are both written asえ inhiragana andエ inkatakana. Later reintroduction of the sound/je/ is written asいぇ inhiragana andイェ inkatakana. Retrospective discussion of/je/ in Old and Early Classical Japanese (prior to the mid-Heian period merger with/e/) uses 𛀁 in hiragana and 𛄡 in katakana (the latter invented for this purpose during theMeiji period to prevent confusion with the modern use of エ to represent/e/ rather than its ancient sound value of/je/).

• 𛀁 was used historically as ahentaigana character, as an alternative form ofえ(e).

𛀁• (ye) 

1. (obsolete) Identical in meaning to the particleへ, but used only after pronunciations ofえ,𛀁, andゑ.(Can weverify⁽⁺⁾ this sense?)
