Unicode Version 17.0
𛁸
U+1B078 "𛁸" Hentaigana Letter to-2 is a specific variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "と" (to), belonging to the hentaigana set of historical or alternative kana used before the standard modern writing system was established. This particular glyph, designated as "to-2" in the Unicode standard, represents a cursive or calligraphic way of writing the syllable "to" that was commonly employed in premodern Japanese texts and documents. The "𛁸" character is encoded in the Hentaigana block of Unicode, which was added to preserve and digitally represent these historically significant script variants for scholarly, linguistic, and cultural purposes.
