==== ''ye'' ====
{{see also|Ye (kana)}}
An early, now obsolete, hiragana-esque form of ''ye'' may have existed ([[𛀁|<big style="color:#808080">𛀁</big>]] {{IPA|ja|je|}}<ref name="Unicode Kana Supplement" />) in pre-Classical Japanese (prior to the advent of [[kana]]), but is generally represented for purposes of reconstruction by the kanji 江, and its hiragana form is not present in any known orthography. In modern orthography, ''ye'' can also be written as いぇ (イェ in [[katakana]]).

While hiragana and katakana letters for "ye" were used for a short period after the advent of kana, the distinction between /ye/ and /e/ disappeared before glyphs could become established.
