U+1B0A9 "𛂩" Hentaigana Letter Hi-1 Unicode Character

U+1B0A9 "𛂩" Hentaigana Letter Hi-1 is a historical variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "ひ" (hi), belonging to the hentaigana set of cursive scripts used before the standardization of hiragana in 1900. This specific glyph represents an alternate, stylized way of writing the syllable "hi" derived from a different cursive abbreviation of the Chinese character underlying the standard form. Found primarily in pre modern Japanese manuscripts and calligraphy, such hentaigana characters are now encoded in Unicode under the Kana Extended A block to support scholarly work, digital preservation, and accurate representation of historical texts.
