Can 亞 be a simplification of 亜?


I'm trying to translate this sport team name:

> 東亞学園バレㅡ部

but Google keeps correcting this to:

> 東亜学園バレーᅳ部

It's obviously difficult to guess which type of horizontal line is meant, but
the second character is clearly printed as 亞, not 亜. Is it possible that the
one is used as a simplified form of the other in situations where printing
complicated characters is difficult?

_(Google Translate gives me results like "Toa Gakuen Valley Department" and
"Toa Gakuen Ballet Department" and when I accept the suggestion to change to
the second version "Toa Gakuen Volleyball Department", which is probably
right, because the Toa Gakuen school in Tokyo has a[volleyball
team](http://www.toagakuen.ac.jp/schoollife/club.html), but the writing looks
much more like the first version.)_




Several points

  * the second-to-last character in 東亞学園バレㅡ部 is `U+3161 HANGUL LETTER EU` (from Korean), it should be ー `U+30FC KATAKANA-HIRAGANA PROLONGED SOUND MARK`. This is probably why Google Translate doesn't quite know what to do with it.

  * バレー部 is short for バレーボール部 and means "volleyball team/club" (by the way, _ballet_ is written バレエ)

  * 亞 is the [_kyūjitai_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%ABjitai) (old character form) and 亜 the _shinjitai_. 亜 has fewer strokes (and simpler strokes) than 亞

  * If the name is 東亞, don't let Google tell you otherwise. However, it looks like the school is called 東亜学園. Maybe that's why Google wants to correct it, maybe Google has a tendency to correct _kyūjitai_ to _shinjitai_. However, if the volleyball team writes their name 東亞学園バレー部, then being a name it shouldn't be corrected.

  * The school translates itself as 東亜学園高等学校 _Toa Gakuen High School_ , so I'd say

> 東亞学園バレー部  
>  Tōa Gakuen Volleyball Club
