Unicode Version 17.0
𛀶
U+1B036 "𛀶" Hentaigana Letter Ke-5 is a specific historical variant form of the hiragana character for the Japanese syllable "ke," belonging to the hentaigana collection of obsolete or alternative kana shapes used before the standardized modern kana system was established in the early 20th century. This particular glyph, designated as "Ke-5" in the Unicode standard, represents one of several cursive styles derived from the Chinese character 計, which was used phonetically in ancient Japanese writing. It is encoded in the Kana Extended-A block to support scholarly and typographic reproduction of pre-modern texts, manuscripts, and calligraphic works.
