U+1B0FA "𛃺" Hentaigana Letter Ru-3 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛃺

U+1B0FA "𛃺" Hentaigana Letter Ru-3 is a specific variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "る" (ru), which was historically used in Japanese calligraphy and writing before the standardization of hiragana in the early 20th century. This particular glyph is part of the Hentaigana block of Unicode, which preserves these alternate, decorative, and often more cursive letterforms that appear in old texts and are still used in certain traditional contexts such as formal calligraphy, personal seals, or artistic designs. The suffix "Ru-3" indicates it is one of several recognized historical variations for the syllable "ru", with this specific shape featuring a distinct curling stroke that differentiates it from the standard modern hiragana.
