The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Ya (hiragana: や, katakana: ヤ) is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represents one mora. The hiragana is written in three strokes, while the katakana is written in two. Both represent [ja]. Their shapes have origins in the character 也.
When small and preceded by an -i kana, this kana represents a palatalization of the preceding consonant sound with the [a] vowel (see yōon).
や can be used by itself as a grammatical particle to connect words in a nonexhaustive list (see Japanese particles#ya).
