𛃑

U+1B0D1 "𛃑" Hentaigana Letter Mu-2 is a rare and historic character from the Hentaigana block, which represents an obsolete variant form of the Japanese hiragana syllable "mu" used primarily in pre-modern Japanese writing. This specific glyph, known as Mu-2, is one of several alternate shapes for the "mu" sound that were employed in calligraphy and classical texts before the Meiji-era standardization of kana scripts. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally encode these ancient cursive and stylized letterforms, enabling scholars and enthusiasts to accurately represent historical documents, poetry, and religious manuscripts that feature diverse hentaigana characters.
