U+1B061 "𛁡" Hentaigana Letter Ta-4 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1B061 "𛁡" Hentaigana Letter Ta-4 is a specific variant form of the hiragana character "た" (ta) from the historical Japanese writing system known as hentaigana, which were alternative, cursive forms used before the modern standardization of kana in the early 20th century. This particular glyph, classified as the fourth variant (Ta-4), was derived from the cursive simplification of the Chinese character 太 (tai) or a similar origin, and it was historically employed in handwritten texts, woodblock prints, and calligraphy to represent the syllable "ta" in premodern Japanese documents. Today, it is included in the Unicode Standard under the Hentaigana block to support the digital preservation and study of historical Japanese manuscripts, though it is rarely used in contemporary writing.
