U+1B03E "𛀾" Hentaigana Letter Sa-3 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛀾
U+1B03E "𛀾" Hentaigana Letter Sa-3 is a historical variant of the Japanese hiragana character for the syllable "sa," belonging to the set of hentaigana, or alternative kana forms that were widely used before the standardisation of the modern hiragana syllabary in the early 20th century. This specific glyph is one of several cursive or stylised variations derived from the Chinese character 左, and it was encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the Hentaigana block to support the digital preservation and scholarly study of premodern Japanese texts, where such variant letters appear in calligraphy, manuscripts, and old printed works.
