𛀁 (Ye) is an obsolete Japanese hentaigana.[1] No katakana form is known to exist.

It is presumed that Ye would have represented [je][citation needed]. Along with 𛀆 (Yi) and Wu, the syllable Ye has no official kana, as these syllables do not occur in native Japanese words. 𛀆 and Wu have never occurred as syllables in Japanese, and 𛀁 was merged with え and エ.

was historically romanized as ye when used as a particle.
