U+1B09B "𛂛" Hentaigana Letter No-3 Unicode Character

U+1B09B "𛂛" Hentaigana Letter No-3 is a specific glyph from the set of historical Japanese syllabary characters known as hentaigana, which were alternative, often cursive, forms of the hiragana script used before the standardized orthography was established in the early 20th century. This particular character represents the syllable "no" and is classified under the Kana Extended-B block, which was added to Unicode to support the encoding of these older, stylized variants for academic, literary, and historical text preservation. Its inclusion allows for accurate digital representation of pre-modern Japanese manuscripts and calligraphy, where such non-standard letterforms frequently appear.
