U+1B0F1 "𛃱" Hentaigana Letter Ri-1 is a historic Japanese cursive character known as hentaigana, which represents a variant form of the syllable "ri" derived from the Chinese character 利. This character was widely used in classical Japanese writing before the standardization of hiragana in the early 20th century, and it is now encoded in the Unicode standard to preserve historical texts and enable digital representation of premodern Japanese literature. It belongs to the Hentaigana block of Unicode, which includes many such alternative kana forms that add depth to the study of Japanese calligraphy and linguistic history.
