Unicode Version 17.0
𛃰
U+1B0F0 "𛃰" Hentaigana Letter Ra-4 is a specific glyph within the Hentaigana block, representing an alternate, historical form of the Japanese kana syllable "ra" that was commonly used in cursive or variant handwriting before the standardization of modern hiragana in the early 20th century. This character, denoting the fourth known variant for the sound "ra," is considered a rare or obsolete letter that is now studied primarily for its role in historical Japanese calligraphy and paleography. It is encoded in Unicode to preserve and allow digital representation of these traditional script forms found in old manuscripts and texts.
