Unicode Version 17.0
𛀽
U+1B03D "𛀽" Hentaigana Letter Sa-2 is a historic variant form of the Japanese hiragana character for the syllable "sa," belonging to the hentaigana set of alternative cursive scripts that were widely used before the modern standardization of the Japanese writing system in 1900. This particular glyph represents a stylized, simplified, or calligraphically distinct version of the standard hiragana character さ, often encountered in classical texts, manuscripts, and artistic works from the Edo period and earlier. Its inclusion in Unicode allows scholars, linguists, and enthusiasts to accurately represent and digitally preserve these historical orthographic variations for research, typography, and cultural heritage purposes.
