U+1B0B2 "𛂲" Hentaigana Letter Hu-3 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1B0B2 "𛂲" Hentaigana Letter Hu-3 is a historic Japanese kana character, specifically a variant or cursive form of the syllable "hu" (more accurately pronounced "fu" in modern Japanese) from the Hentaigana script, which was widely used before the standardisation of the hiragana syllabary in the early 20th century. This particular glyph represents one of multiple historical shapes for the same sound, with the "3" in its name indicating it is a third distinct variant documented in the Unicode standard. Encoded in the Hentaigana block of Unicode, it is primarily of interest to scholars and typographers studying classical Japanese texts, calligraphy, or the evolution of the writing system, and its inclusion in digital character sets helps preserve and accurately reproduce pre-modern documents in electronic formats.
