U+1B0A1 "𛂡" Hentaigana Letter Ha-4 is a specific historical variant of the Japanese hiragana character for the syllable "ha", belonging to the set of hentaigana or alternative, non-standard kana forms that were widely used before the modern standardization of the Japanese writing system in 1900. This particular glyph, designated as Ha-4, represents one of several cursive calligraphic variations derived from the Chinese character 波 (ha, meaning wave) and is primarily of interest to scholars of Japanese paleography, historical linguistics, and classical literature. Encoded in Unicode to preserve and facilitate digital access to premodern Japanese texts, this character allows researchers and enthusiasts to accurately render manuscripts and documents from the Edo period and earlier without losing the stylistic nuances of the original handwriting.
