beforehand, previous, myself, I
予 centers on the idea of something given or set in advance: beforehand, previous, or a first-person pronoun when the speaker is the one giving or offering.
予 is thought to represent a shuttle or a tool for weaving, which later came to be used phonetically for 'beforehand' and as a first-person pronoun. The exact historical development is uncertain.
The shape 予 looks like a hand giving something forward. Imagine offering a gift in advance: that's the core of beforehand and myself as the giver.
For ヨ, picture a yo-yo being handed to you beforehand: yo -> ヨ, and you receive it in advance.
