U+1B0A6 "𛂦" Hentaigana Letter Ha-9 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛂦
U+1B0A6 "𛂦" Hentaigana Letter Ha-9 is a historic variant of the Japanese hiragana syllable "ha," part of the hentaigana set of alternative, cursive letterforms that were widely used before the standardized kana system was established in 1900. This specific glyph represents one of several distinct shapes historically employed for writing the sound "ha," and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the textual diversity found in premodern Japanese manuscripts, calligraphy, and printed works. As a hentaigana character, it is now primarily of interest to scholars, typographers, and enthusiasts working with historical documents or seeking to reproduce authentic period aesthetics.
