𛄛

U+1B11B "𛄛" Hentaigana Letter Wo-6 is part of the small set of historic Japanese phonetic symbols known as hentaigana, which are alternate, stylized forms of the standard hiragana characters that were used before the modern orthographic standardization in the 20th century. This specific character represents a variant of the syllable "wo" (を), now pronounced as "o", and its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps preserve the historical diversity of handwritten Japanese scripts, making it possible to digitally archive and display ancient texts and manuscripts with their authentic calligraphic variations.
