Unicode Version 17.0
𛂭
U+1B0AD "𛂭" Hentaigana Letter Hi-5 is a variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "ひ" (hi), part of the historical hentaigana script used primarily before the standardization of modern Japanese writing in the early 20th century. This particular glyph, designated with the suffix "5" to distinguish it among multiple historical variants, represents a cursive, stylized rendition that was commonly employed in classical texts, woodblock prints, and calligraphic works. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate digital representation and study of premodern Japanese manuscripts, preserving a nuanced aspect of the language's orthographic history.
