U+1B110 "𛄐" Hentaigana Letter Wi-4 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛄐
U+1B110 "𛄐" Hentaigana Letter Wi-4 is a historical variant of the Japanese hiragana character for the syllable "wi," which represents a sound that has since merged with "i" in modern Japanese. This specific character belongs to the Hen:taigana block, a set of obsolete cursive forms of hiragana that were used before the standardization of the Japanese writing system in the early 20th century. Its design, derived from the Chinese character for "power" or "authority," reflects the calligraphic flourishes typical of ancient Japanese manuscripts and poetic works, making it a notable artifact for linguists and scholars studying the evolution of the kana script.
