Unicode Version 17.0

𛃴

U+1B0F4 "𛃴" Hentaigana Letter Ri-4 is a specific historical variant (hentaigana) of the Japanese hiragana character for the syllable "ri" which was once commonly used in premodern Japanese writing before the standardization of the modern hiragana syllabary in the early 20th century. Classified as part of the Unicode block dedicated to hentaigana, this character belongs to the "ri" subgroup and is specifically designated as the fourth variant form for that sound, reflecting the cursive and often calligraphic diversity found in old Japanese manuscripts and texts. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitize these historical letterforms, allowing scholars and enthusiasts to study and reproduce authentic premodern Japanese documents without losing their original typographic nuance.
