This character belongs to the Small Kana Extension block. The Small Kana Extension block is an extension of the core Kana scripts used to write Japanese. Kana is divided into two systems: Hiragana and Katakana, both of which represent syllabic sounds in the Japanese language. The Small Kana Extension adds smaller versions of certain kana characters that are used for special phonetic purposes. These smaller kana are typically used in modern Japanese texts for purposes such as indicating loanwords, special pronunciations, or other linguistic nuances. Their inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital texts in Japanese can accurately reflect the full range of written Japanese, including specialized phonetic variations. This is particularly useful for academic texts, educational materials, and any context where precision in language representation is important..
