Unicode Version 17.0
𛄄
U+1B104 "𛄄" Hentaigana Letter Ro-3 is a specific variant of the hentaigana, or historical cursive kana, used in the Japanese writing system to represent the syllable "ro". This character is part of the Unicode standard's Hentaigana block, which was added to preserve and document the many non-standard hiragana glyphs that were commonly used before the modern standardization of Japanese orthography in the early 20th century. The "Ro-3" designation indicates it is the third distinct historical form for the syllable "ro", offering scholars and digital typographers a means to accurately represent premodern texts and calligraphic styles.
