U+1B098 "𛂘" Hentaigana Letter Ne-Ko Unicode Character

U+1B098 "𛂘" Hentaigana Letter Ne-Ko is a historical variant of the Japanese hiragana syllabary, specifically representing the syllable "ne" but derived from the cursive or stylized writing of the character "子" (ko), which means "child." This hentaigana form, which combines the phonetic value of "ne" with the graphical origin of "ko," was used in pre-modern Japanese texts before the standardization of hiragana in the early 20th century, and it has been encoded in Unicode to preserve and enable digital representation of historical Japanese calligraphy and literature.
