U+1B091 "𛂑" Hentaigana Letter Nu-3 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛂑
U+1B091 "𛂑" Hentaigana Letter Nu-3 is a historical glyph representing one of the many variant forms (hentaigana) of the Japanese hiragana character for the syllable "nu," which in standard modern hiragana is written as ぬ. This specific variant, classified as Nu-3, was used in pre-modern Japanese writing before the standardization of the kana syllabary in the early 20th century, reflecting the aesthetic and stylistic diversity found in historical manuscripts and calligraphy. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent these alternative script forms for linguistic research and cultural heritage documentation.
