Unicode Version 17.0

𛁋

U+1B04B "𛁋" Hentaigana Letter Su-2 is a historic Japanese phonetic symbol belonging to the Hentaigana block, representing an alternative, cursive variant of the kana character for the syllable "su." Hentaigana are obsolete or nonstandard forms of hiragana that were widely used in Japan before the script reforms of the Meiji and early Showa periods, and this particular glyph, designated as "Su-2" to distinguish it from other historical variants, is encoded primarily for academic text processing and the digital preservation of premodern Japanese documents. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars and enthusiasts can accurately reproduce ancient manuscripts, calligraphy, and linguistic resources without resorting to image replacements or approximations.
