Unicode Version 17.0
𛀑
U+1B011 "𛀑" Hentaigana Letter E-4 is a historical Japanese cursive syllabary character belonging to the Hentaigana block, which encodes variant forms of hiragana that were commonly used in Japan before standardized spelling reforms. This specific glyph represents a variant of the modern hiragana character for the syllable "e", derived from the cursive writing of a different Chinese source character than the standard form. Its inclusion in Unicode, typically within the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, helps preserve and enable the digital representation of pre-modern Japanese manuscripts and calligraphy, offering scholars and typographers access to a broader range of historical scripts for research and specialized typesetting.
