𛂰
U+1B0B0 "𛂰" Hentaigana Letter Hu-1 is a historic Japanese syllabic character belonging to the Hentaigana block, which represents a variant cursive form of the standard hiragana character for the syllable "hu" (often romanized as "fu" in modern Japanese). This specific glyph, designated as Hu-1, is one of several alternative, pre-modern shapes used in classical Japanese calligraphy and documents before the Meiji era standardized the kana writing system. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate digital representation of historical texts, enabling scholars to preserve and study the nuanced evolution of Japanese orthography and handwriting styles.
