U+1B089 "𛂉" Hentaigana Letter Ni-3 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛂉

U+1B089 "𛂉" Hentaigana Letter Ni-3 is a rare historical Japanese syllabic character belonging to the Hentaigana block, which encodes variant, non-standard cursive forms of the hiragana syllabary used primarily from the Heian through the Edo periods. Specifically, this glyph represents a calligraphic variant of the modern hiragana character "に" (ni), and the "3" in its name indicates it is the third of several known variant forms for that syllable. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent the rich manuscript tradition of premodern Japanese writing, where scribes would often use multiple distinct shapes for the same phonetic value. Today, it is primarily of interest to scholars of Japanese paleography, typographers, and enthusiasts of classical text reproduction.
