U+1B0BF "𛂿" Hentaigana Letter Ho-6 Unicode Character

U+1B0BF "𛂿" Hentaigana Letter Ho-6 is a relatively obscure symbol from the Hentaigana block, which comprises historical, cursive variants of Japanese hiragana letters that were commonly used before the standardization of modern hiragana in the early 20th century. This specific character represents a historically attested alternative form for the syllable "ho," and its designation as "Ho-6" indicates it is the sixth recognized variant of that sound. Historically, hentaigana like this one were employed in informal and literary contexts, such as in pre-modern manuscripts and woodblock prints, allowing for stylistic diversity in Japanese writing. Though no longer part of standard modern orthography, the inclusion of this character in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent the rich, pre-standardization history of Japanese script.
