Source: Browser Default
U+1B034 "𛀴" Hentaigana Letter Ke-3 is a historic Japanese syllabic symbol representing the sound "ke" as part of the hentaigana script, which comprises variant forms of hiragana characters used before the standardisation of modern Japanese writing in the Meiji era. This specific character is one of several hentaigana forms for the syllable "ke," distinguished by its cursive calligraphic origin from the Chinese character "計" (meaning "measure" or "plan"). It is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Hentaigana block, allowing modern digital preservation and representation of premodern Japanese texts, including manuscripts, Edo period literature, and historical documents where such alternative kana were commonly employed.
