Unicode Version 17.0
U+1B071 "𛁱" Hentaigana Letter Te-4 is a specific historical variant of the Japanese hiragana character for the syllable "te," belonging to the set of hentaigana that were once commonly used in Japan before the modern standardization of the kana syllabary in the early 20th century.
