U+1B06D "𛁭" Hentaigana Letter Tu-To Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛁭

U+1B06D "𛁭" Hentaigana Letter Tu-To is a historical variant form of the hiragana characters つ (tu/tsu) and と (to) from the Japanese writing system, specifically belonging to the hentaigana set of obsolete or alternate kana used before the standardization of modern hiragana in the early 20th century. This glyph blends the phonetic values for both "tu" and "to" in its classification, reflecting the fluid orthographic practices of premodern Japan where multiple cursive shapes could represent the same syllable. Including this character in the Unicode standard helps preserve the historical diversity of Japanese script for scholarly and linguistic purposes.
