U+1B0C3 "𛃃" Hentaigana Letter Ma-2 Unicode Character

U+1B0C3 "𛃃" Hentaigana Letter Ma-2 is a specific, historical variant form of the Japanese hiragana character "ま" (ma), belonging to the set of hentaigana, which are obsolete or alternative cursive scripts used primarily before the standardisation of Japanese writing in the early 20th century. This particular glyph represents one of several non standard shapes for the syllable "ma" that were derived from an entire Chinese character abbreviated through calligraphic practice, and it was encoded in Unicode within the Hentaigana block to aid in the digital preservation and scholarly study of pre modern Japanese texts.
