U+1B0F8 "𛃸" Hentaigana Letter Ru-1 is a specific glyph representing a historical variant of the Japanese hiragana character for "ru," which belongs to the Hentaigana block of the Unicode standard. Hentaigana are obsolete or alternative cursive forms of hiragana that were commonly used in premodern Japanese writing, particularly before the standardization of the modern kana syllabary in the early 20th century. This particular character, named Ru-1 to distinguish it from other historical variants of the same syllable, is encoded for digital representation and scholarly use, allowing for the accurate preservation and rendering of classical Japanese texts, manuscripts, and calligraphic works.
