U+1B11A "𛄚" Hentaigana Letter Wo-5 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛄚
U+1B11A "𛄚" Hentaigana Letter Wo-5 is a specific variant form of the Japanese hiragana character for the syllable "wo," used historically in pre-modern Japanese writing. As part of the Hentaigana block, which preserves the diverse, non-standard cursive styles that were common before the standardized kana system was established in the early 20th century, this particular glyph represents one of several alternative shapes once employed in calligraphy and printed texts. Its inclusion in Unicode helps scholars and digital archivists accurately represent classical Japanese documents, such as Edo-period manuscripts and early printed books, where such letterforms were essential for authentic cultural and linguistic preservation.
