U+1B051 "𛁑" Hentaigana Letter Su-8 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛁑
U+1B051 "𛁑" Hentaigana Letter Su-8 is a specific variant form, or hentaigana, of the Japanese hiragana character "す" (su) used historically in the Japanese writing system before the standardisation of modern hiragana. This particular glyph, numbered Su-8 in the standardised classification of hentaigana, represents a cursive calligraphic style that was once common in handwritten documents and classical Japanese literature. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps preserve and digitally represent these historical character forms, which are important for accurately encoding pre modern Japanese texts, calligraphy, and linguistic studies.
