U+1B0AE "𛂮" Hentaigana Letter Hi-6 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛂮
U+1B0AE "𛂮" Hentaigana Letter Hi-6 is a historical variant of the Japanese hiragana character "ひ" (hi), belonging to the set of hentaigana, or obsolete, non-standard kana that were commonly used in Japan before the standardization of the modern hiragana syllabary in the early 20th century. This specific form represents one of several alternative graphic shapes for the syllable "hi," and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and enable the digital representation of pre-modern Japanese texts, such as classical literature, calligraphy, and historical documents.
