U+1B093 "𛂓" Hentaigana Letter Ne-2 is a historic variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "ね" (ne), which belongs to a set of cursive, stylized syllabic letters known as hentaigana that were widely used in classical Japanese writing before the standardization of modern hiragana in the early 20th century. This specific glyph, designated as "Ne-2," showcases a different calligraphic stroke style compared to the standard form, reflecting the aesthetic diversity of premodern manuscripts, calligraphy, and woodblock prints.
