Unicode Version 17.0
𛁊
U+1B04A "𛁊" Hentaigana Letter Su-1 is a variant form of the hiragana character "す" (su), which was historically used in premodern Japanese writing before the standardization of the modern kana syllabary. This specific glyph belongs to the Hentaigana block, which encodes numerous cursive and stylized alternatives that were common in classical texts, calligraphy, and personal correspondence until the early 20th century. Designated as "Su-1" in the Unicode standard, it helps scholars and typographers accurately represent historical documents, preserving the nuanced visual diversity of Japan's written heritage without altering its original appearance.
