Unicode Version 17.0

𛂷

U+1B0B7 "𛂷" Hentaigana Letter He-5 is a specific historical variant form of the Japanese hiragana character for the syllable "he" (へ), belonging to the hentaigana set of obsolete and alternate kana used in pre-modern Japanese writing. This particular glyph, designated as He-5, represents one of several calligraphic or cursive variations that were standardized before the Meiji era reforms limited the kana system to its modern 46 characters. Residing in the Hentaigana Supplement block, U+1B0B7 is used primarily for scholarly and typographic purposes, such as reproducing classical texts, analyzing historical handwriting styles, or providing authentic visual representations in digital contexts. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and facilitate the study of Japan's linguistic and calligraphic heritage.
