Unicode Version 17.0

𛀝

U+1B01D "𛀝" Hentaigana Letter Ka-7 is a historical variant form of the Japanese hiragana character for the syllable "ka," belonging to the set of hentaigana, which are obsolete or alternative cursive scripts that were widely used in the Japanese writing system before the standardization of hiragana in the early 20th century. This specific glyph, designated as "Ka-7" in the Unicode Standard's nomenclature for hentaigana, represents a distinct handwritten style that emerged from the grass-style cursive simplification of the Chinese character 加. It is encoded in the Hentaigana block of the Unicode standard, which was introduced to support the digital representation of these historical scripts for scholarly, linguistic, and cultural purposes, allowing modern computers to preserve and display the rich diversity of premodern Japanese calligraphy and orthography.
