Unicode Version 17.0

𛁽

U+1B07D "𛁽" Hentaigana Letter to-Ra is a historic Japanese kana glyph, specifically a variant form of the hiragana character used for the syllable "to" or "ra," and it belongs to the Hentaigana block, which encompasses archaic or alternative cursive forms of hiragana that were widely used in Japanese writing before the standardization of the modern kana syllabary in the early 20th century. This particular character, encoded as part of Unicode's effort to preserve historical scripts, would have been employed in premodern Japanese texts such as manuscripts and printed works, reflecting the diverse calligraphic traditions and orthographic practices of the Heian and Edo periods. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard aids scholars, linguists, and digital archivists in accurately representing and studying historical Japanese literature and writing.
