Unicode Version 17.0
𛁵
U+1B075 "𛁵" Hentaigana Letter Te-8 is a historical Japanese character belonging to the Hentaigana block, which contains variant cursive forms of the hiragana syllabary used in classical Japanese writing. This specific glyph represents a stylized, handwritten variant of the modern hiragana character "て" (te), and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally encode the diverse calligraphic traditions of premodern Japan. Scholars and digital humanists rely on this character to accurately transcribe historical documents, literary manuscripts, and woodblock prints where hentaigana forms were commonly employed before the standardization of kana script in the early 20th century.
