Unicode Version 17.0

𛁌

U+1B04C "𛁌" Hentaigana Letter Su-3 is a specific variant of the Japanese hiragana character "す" (su), which appears in the Hentaigana block of Unicode. Hentaigana are historical or cursive variants of standard hiragana that were used in classical Japanese writing before the modern standardization of the script, and this particular form, Su-3, represents one of several distinct shapes that the syllable "su" could take in premodern calligraphy and printed texts. It is part of an effort by the Unicode Consortium to preserve and digitize these historical characters, allowing modern computers to display and process them for scholarly, cultural, or archival purposes, such as studying ancient manuscripts or recreating traditional aesthetics in digital typography.
