Unicode Version 17.0

𛀏

U+1B00F "𛀏" Hentaigana Letter E-2 is a historical variant form of the hiragana character for the syllable "e" (え), belonging to the Hentaigana block of the Unicode standard. Hentaigana are alternate, nonstandard phonetic characters from the Japanese kana syllabary that were widely used in premodern Japan before the standardization of hiragana in the Meiji era. This particular glyph, known as E-2, represents one of several cursive, calligraphic forms derived from the Chinese character 衣 (clothing), which was repurposed phonetically. Preserving these characters in Unicode allows for the accurate digital representation of historical Japanese manuscripts, poems, and documents, enabling scholars and enthusiasts to study and display the rich stylistic diversity of early Japanese writing.
