U+1B0C9 "𛃉" Hentaigana Letter Mi-1 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛃉

U+1B0C9 "𛃉" Hentaigana Letter Mi-1 is a rare and historical glyph from the Japanese writing system, specifically representing an alternate, cursive calligraphic form of the hiragana character "み" (mi). Part of the Hentaigana block in Unicode, this character was used in classical Japanese texts before the modern standardization of the kana syllabary in the early 1900s, often appearing in personal letters, poetry, or religious manuscripts to convey a sense of elegance and historical authenticity. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent these traditional variant scripts for scholars, linguists, and typographers studying Japan's rich orthographic history.
