U+1B0A5 "𛂥" Hentaigana Letter Ha-8 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛂥
U+1B0A5 "𛂥" Hentaigana Letter Ha-8 is a variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "は" (ha), belonging to the collection of historical and cursive scripts known as hentaigana, which were used prior to the standardization of the modern hiragana syllabary in the early 20th century. This specific glyph represents one of the many alternative ways scribes wrote the "ha" sound, often derived from the Chinese character "波" (wave), and it is encoded in the Unicode standard under the Hentaigana block to preserve and support the digital representation of premodern Japanese calligraphy and literature.
