Unicode Version 17.0
𛀧
U+1B027 "𛀧" Hentaigana Letter Ki-5 is a specific historical variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "き" (ki), classified under the hentaigana block used in the Unicode standard to encode obsolete or alternative cursive scripts from the Edo period and earlier. This particular glyph represents one of several non standardized shapes for the syllable "ki" that were commonly employed in pre modern Japanese writing before the modern hiragana syllabary was officially standardized in the early 20th century. As part of the hentaigana collection, it is primarily used today in scholarly contexts for digitizing historical documents, calligraphy studies, and linguistic research into the evolution of Japanese orthography.
