U+1B10F "𛄏" Hentaigana Letter Wi-3 Unicode Character

U+1B10F "𛄏" Hentaigana Letter Wi-3 is a rare and historically significant glyph representing a variant form of the Japanese hiragana character for the extinct syllable "wi", which was used in classical Japanese texts before phonetic shifts rendered it obsolete. This character belongs to the "Kana Extended-A" block, which encodes hentaigana, or historical variant kana forms that were widely used in premodern Japan before the standardized modern hiragana script was established in the early 20th century. The "Wi-3" designation indicates it is the third known variant of the hentaigana for "wi", and its inclusion in Unicode helps scholars and enthusiasts accurately represent and study historical Japanese manuscripts, poetry, and calligraphy.
