Unicode Version 17.0

𛂇

U+1B087 "𛂇" Hentaigana Letter Ni-1 is a specific variant of the historical Japanese cursive syllabary known as hentaigana, which were alternative, non-standard forms of kana used before the modern standardization of the Japanese writing system in the early 20th century. This particular character represents the syllable "ni" and belongs to the "Kana Extended-A" block in Unicode, serving as a distinct stylistic or calligraphic alternative to the modern hiragana character に. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard facilitates the digital representation and preservation of historical Japanese texts, allowing scholars, linguists, and typographers to accurately render classical documents, manuscripts, and artistic works that employ these pre-modern script forms.
