Unicode Version 17.0
𛂯
U+1B0AF "𛂯" Hentaigana Letter Hi-7 is a historic variant of the Japanese hiragana character "ひ", used in the traditional cursive script known as hentaigana, which was common before modern standard hiragana was established. This specific glyph, classified as Hi-7, represents one of several calligraphic forms for the syllable "hi" that were employed in classical Japanese writing, often appearing in historical texts, manuscripts, and woodblock prints. The "𛂯" character is encoded in the Unicode Standard within the Hentaigana block, which was added to support digital preservation and typographic representation of these obsolete yet culturally significant characters.
