U+1B0B4 "𛂴" Hentaigana Letter He-2 Unicode Character

U+1B0B4 "𛂴" Hentaigana Letter He-2 is a variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "へ" (he), belonging to the set of hentaigana, which are historical, non-standard kana characters that were widely used before the modern standardized writing system was established in 1900. This specific glyph, designated as He-2, represents one of the alternative cursive shapes for the syllable "he" and is encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the Hentaigana block, introduced to support historical Japanese texts and scholarly work in linguistics. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the rich typographic diversity of pre-modern Japanese writing, allowing digital representation and analysis of documents such as classical literature, calligraphy, and Edo-period manuscripts.
