Katakana Letter Small Ri Letter Meaning
ㇼ is the Unicode character named “KATAKANA LETTER SMALL RI” (U+31FC). It represents the small ri (small “リ”) used in Japanese Katakana orthography. Like other small Katakana letters, it typically appears in contexts where the spelling needs the smaller form rather than the standard-sized ri. In practice, this character helps preserve correct word forms in digital Japanese text, especially in typesetting, proofreading, and content that must match specific Kana spelling. When used with the right font and language settings, it behaves like a normal text character for display, selection, and copy/paste.
