Unicode Version 17.0

𛄞

U+1B11E "𛄞" Hentaigana Letter N-Mu-Mo-2 is a historical Japanese kana symbol known as a hentaigana, representing a variant form of the modern hiragana characters for the sounds "n", "mu", or "mo", specifically designated as the second such variant in the Unicode standard. This character is part of the Hentaigana block, which encodes alternate cursive or stylized versions of hiragana that were commonly used in pre-modern Japanese calligraphy and woodblock printing before the standardized orthography reforms of the early 20th century. As a digital representation of a historical script, U+1B11E helps preserve and facilitate the study of classical Japanese texts, but its modern usage is extremely rare, typically limited to specialized academic contexts or typographic or artistic projects that aim to replicate historical aesthetics.
