U+1B0D6 "𛃖" Hentaigana Letter Me-Ma Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛃖
U+1B0D6 "𛃖" Hentaigana Letter Me-Ma is a historical variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "め" (me), belonging to the hentaigana block, which encodes alternative, non-standard cursive scripts used primarily in the Edo period and earlier for writing the Japanese language. This specific glyph represents the syllable "me" from the "ma" line of the kana syllabary, and it is classified as a "me" variant that also resembles the character "ma" in some calligraphic traditions. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent historical Japanese manuscripts, literature, and documents where such ornate and diverse script forms were commonly employed.
