U+1B025 "𛀥" Hentaigana Letter Ki-3 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛀥
U+1B025 "𛀥" Hentaigana Letter Ki-3 is a historical Japanese character known as a hentaigana, a variant form of the hiragana syllable "ki" used before orthographic standardization in the early 20th century. This specific glyph represents one of many alternative cursive shapes derived from the Chinese character 貴, and it was commonly employed in pre modern Japanese texts, calligraphy, and personal correspondence to add stylistic variety or reflect regional writing traditions. The character is encoded in Unicode's Hentaigana block, which was introduced to preserve these obsolete yet culturally significant script forms for scholarly, linguistic, and digital heritage purposes.
