U+1B09E "𛂞" Hentaigana Letter Ha-1 is a historic variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "は" (ha), used in the Hentaigana block of the Unicode standard. This specific glyph represents one of the many cursive or stylized shapes of the kana letter "ha" that were commonly employed in premodern Japanese writing before the standardization of modern hiragana in the early 20th century. As part of the broader Hentaigana collection, it preserves the calligraphic and typographic diversity of classical Japanese manuscripts and is now encoded for digital use, enabling scholars and enthusiasts to accurately represent historical texts and decorative calligraphy in modern electronic environments.
