Unicode Version 17.0
𛄊
U+1B10A "𛄊" Hentaigana Letter Wa-3 is a specific historical variant of the Japanese hiragana character for the syllable "wa," encoded within the Unicode standard's Hentaigana block, which preserves obsolete and alternate cursive forms of kana used in pre modern Japanese writing. This particular glyph, identified as "Wa-3," represents one of several distinct calligraphic styles for the sound "wa" that were common before the standardization of modern hiragana, and its inclusion ensures that scholars, historians, and typographers can accurately represent historical texts, manuscripts, and decorative script without relying on modern approximations.
