U+1B0B9 "𛂹" Hentaigana Letter He-7 Unicode Character

U+1B0B9 "𛂹" Hentaigana Letter He-7 is a historical variant of the modern hiragana character "へ" (he), which was used in the Japanese writing system before the standardisation of kana during the Meiji period. This particular glyph belongs to the Hentaigana block in Unicode, a set of obsolete cursive syllabograms that often appear in premodern documents, calligraphy, and official edicts. The "He-7" designation reflects its cataloging as the seventh known cursive form for the syllable "he," distinguishing it from other visual variants such as a simpler or more ornate shape. Today, this character is primarily of interest to linguists, historians, and digital typographers working to preserve or reproduce classical Japanese texts.
