Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1B019 "𛀙" Hentaigana Letter Ka-3 is a specific variant of the hentaigana (historical, non-standard hiragana) used in pre-modern Japanese writing to represent the syllable "ka". This particular form is one of several alternate glyphs for the sound, derived from a cursive abbreviation of the kanji "åŠ ", and it belongs to the Hentaigana block within Unicode’s Supplementary Multilingual Plane. Preserved primarily in classical texts and artistic calligraphy, the character is rarely used in modern Japanese writing, but its inclusion in Unicode aims to support accurate digital representation of historical documents, scholarly works, and traditional typography.
