U+1B084 "𛂄" Hentaigana Letter Na-7 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛂄
U+1B084 "𛂄" Hentaigana Letter Na-7 is a specific variant form of the hiragana character "な" (na), belonging to the historical cursive script known as hentaigana, which was widely used in Japan before the standardization of kana in 1900. This particular glyph, numbered Na-7 in the Unicode standard, originates from a calligraphic simplification of the Chinese character that represents the same syllable, offering a visual alternative to the modern standard form. Included in the Unicode 10.0 release within the Kana Extended-A block, it serves scholarly and typographic purposes, enabling the accurate representation of pre-modern Japanese texts and preserving the diversity of historical writing styles.
