U+1B07E "𛁾" Hentaigana Letter Na-1 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛁾

U+1B07E "𛁾" Hentaigana Letter Na-1 is a historical variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "な" (na), encoded as part of the Unicode standard's Hentaigana block to preserve and enable digital representation of these premodern cursive script forms. This specific glyph represents one of several alternative calligraphic styles for the syllable "na" that were widely used in Japanese writing before the standardized orthographic reforms of the Meiji period, often appearing in classical literature, old letters, and artistic manuscripts. Its inclusion in Unicode allows scholars, linguists, and digital archivists to accurately display and analyze historical Japanese texts without relying on font substitutions or approximations.
