U+1B119 "𛄙" Hentaigana Letter Wo-4 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1B119 "𛄙" Hentaigana Letter Wo-4 is a specific historical variant of the Japanese hiragana character for the syllable "wo", which in standard modern Japanese is written as を. This character belongs to the set of hentaigana, an assortment of pre-modern, irregularly shaped cursive forms of hiragana that were used alongside the standardized kana before the 1900 orthography reforms. The "Wo-4" designation indicates it is the fourth distinct glyph variant recorded for the syllable "wo" in the Unicode standard. Today, hentaigana like this one are primarily of interest to historical linguists, calligraphers, and scholars of classical Japanese texts, but their inclusion in Unicode helps preserve these historical writing forms in digital environments.
