U+1B0CA "𛃊" Hentaigana Letter Mi-2 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛃊

U+1B0CA "𛃊" Hentaigana Letter Mi-2 is a historic variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "mi," used primarily in premodern Japanese writing before the standardization of the modern hiragana syllabary in the early 20th century. This specific glyph belongs to the Hentaigana block, a set of alternative cursive characters that were historically interchangeable with standard hiragana but fell out of common use due to educational reforms. The character represents the syllable "mi" and appears in classical texts, calligraphy, and historical documents, often reflecting stylistic or regional variations. Its inclusion in Unicode enables digital preservation and accurate rendering of historical Japanese manuscripts.
