U+1B00A "𛀊" Hentaigana Letter U-1 Unicode Character

U+1B00A "𛀊" Hentaigana Letter U-1 is a specific glyph representing a historical variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "う" (u), used in the cursive calligraphic style known as hentaigana, which was widely employed in premodern Japanese writing before the standardization of modern hiragana. This character is part of the Unicode block for hentaigana letters, added to support the digitization of classical texts and manuscripts where multiple, nonstandard kana forms were common for the same syllable. The suffix "U-1" in its name indicates that it is the first listed variant for the u syllable, helping scholars and software correctly identify and render this distinct calligraphic form.
