Source: Browser Default
U+1B01B "𛀛" Hentaigana Letter Ka-5 is a variant of the Japanese hiragana character "か" (ka), specifically a hentaigana, or an obsolete, historically used cursive form of the kana syllabary. This character belongs to the Kana Extended-A block and was encoded in Unicode to support the reproduction of classical Japanese texts, where multiple stylized or alternative shapes for the same syllable were common before the standardization of modern hiragana. Hentaigana Letter Ka-5 represents one of several distinct graphic variants for the sound "ka," preserving the calligraphic diversity of premodern Japanese writing systems.
