Unicode Version 17.0

𛀷

U+1B037 "𛀷" Hentaigana Letter Ke-6 is a specific historical variant of the hiragana character for the syllable "ke," belonging to the hentaigana set of obsolete or alternate kana forms used in pre modern Japanese writing. This character was encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Hentaigana block to support the digitization of classical texts, calligraphy, and historical documents where such non standard glyphs appear. Its usage reflects the rich typographic diversity of the Japanese script before the modern standardization of hiragana, and it is primarily of interest to scholars, linguists, and enthusiasts of historical Japanese orthography.
