U+1B099 "𛂙" Hentaigana Letter No-1 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛂙
U+1B099 "𛂙" Hentaigana Letter No-1 is a specific variant of the hentaigana script, which represents an alternate, historical form of the Japanese hiragana syllabary used primarily before the Meiji era standardization. This character corresponds to the kana "の" (no), as its name indicates, with "No-1" designating the first documented variant shape for that syllable in the hentaigana collection. It belongs to the Supplement block within Unicode's Kana Extended-A range, preserving a distinctive calligraphic style that differs from the modern standard hiragana and was commonly employed in premodern texts, personal correspondence, and woodblock prints.
