While I was flipping through a kanji dictionary (2013's Kodansha KLD), I came
across 耶{や} , which in the book, said it was the interrogative particle か.
However, after a bit more research, it doesn't seem to yield anything outside
of Chinese; is it nowadays no longer used as an interrogative particle, or
just not used at all?

question
particle-か
Does 耶 still hold any value in Japanese?
If you want an honest answer, it has little to no value in the modern
Japanese-speaking world.

For the vast majority of Japanese-speakers, 「耶{や}​ 」 is just a kanji for that
syllable used in some girls' names.

Unless one is a kanji scholar or one just wants to nitpick for the heck of it,
「耶」 has no other use in modern Japanese.
