U+1B100 "𛄀" Hentaigana Letter Re-3 Unicode Character

U+1B100 "𛄀" Hentaigana Letter Re-3 is a specific glyph from the set of hentaigana, which are historical and stylistically variant forms of the standard Japanese hiragana syllabary used primarily before the orthographic reforms of the early 20th century. This particular character represents an alternate, calligraphic way to write the syllable "re" (normally written as れ in modern hiragana) and belongs to the "Hentaigana Supplement" block of Unicode, added to encode these traditional script variations for scholarly, digital, and preservation purposes. Its usage today is largely confined to historical documents, calligraphy studies, and specialized digital typography, helping to preserve the rich diversity of classical Japanese writing.
