U+1B062 "𛁢" Hentaigana Letter Ti-1 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛁢

U+1B062 "𛁢" Hentaigana Letter Ti-1 is a specific glyph from the historic Japanese writing system known as hentaigana, which were variant, non standard hiragana characters used before the modern orthographic standardization in 1900. This particular character represents the syllable "ti" (a sound now typically written as ち in standard hiragana) and belongs to the Hentaigana block added to Unicode in 2017 to support the encoding of these historical and calligraphic forms. Unlike the standard hiragana, which has a single accepted form for each syllable, hentaigana like "𛁢" offer multiple stylistic variants that were once common in premodern Japanese manuscripts and literature. The inclusion of such characters in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent the rich typographic diversity of Japan's written heritage.
