U+1B085 "𛂅" Hentaigana Letter Na-8 Unicode Character

U+1B085 "𛂅" Hentaigana Letter Na-8 is a rare, historical Japanese syllabogram belonging to the hentaigana script, which comprises the alternative, nonstandard forms of hiragana that were used before the modern standardization of the Japanese writing system in 1900. Specifically, this character is one of several variant shapes for the syllable "na," derived from a cursive shorthand rendition of the Chinese character 奈, and it was primarily employed in pre-Meiji era documents, calligraphy, and Edo period woodblock prints. Although obsolete in modern writing, it has been encoded in Unicode to support the accurate digital preservation and scholarly study of classical Japanese texts.
