Fun facts

リュ is a yōon combination made from リ plus small ュ; it represents one blended syllable, not two separate kana sounds.
The hiragana equivalent is りゅ, using the same base-plus-small-kana pattern.
The second kana in リュ is written small to show that it modifies the preceding consonant-vowel kana.
