Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1B109 "𛄉" Hentaigana Letter Wa-2 is a specific glyph from the hentaigana set, which comprises historical or variant forms of Japanese hiragana characters that were once used interchangeably before the standard modern syllabary was established. This particular character represents an alternative way to write the syllable "wa" and is designated as the second variant ("Wa-2") for that sound, reflecting the calligraphic and orthographic diversity found in premodern Japanese texts. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard, specifically within the Kana Extended-B block, allows for the accurate digital representation and study of classical manuscripts, historical documents, and stylized writing where such nonstandard kana forms appear.
