𛀻
U+1B03B "𛀻" Hentaigana Letter Ko-Ki is a historic Japanese cursive glyph representing an alternative, stylized form of the kana syllables "ko" (こ) and "ki" (き), which were used in premodern writing alongside the standard hiragana. This character belongs to the Hentaigana block, a collection of obsolete cursive variants that were widely employed before the 1900 standardization of Japanese writing, and it serves as a visual and cultural link to classical Japanese manuscripts and calligraphy traditions. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent these historical letterforms for scholarly study and typographic reconstruction.
