U+1B113 "𛄓" Hentaigana Letter We-2 is a historical variant of the Japanese hiragana character for the syllable "we", representing an obsolete or alternate form used in premodern Japanese writing before the standardization of the modern hiragana syllabary. Part of the "Hentaigana" collection in Unicode, this character was employed in classical texts and calligraphy, reflecting a specific stylistic variant from the Edo period or earlier. It was added to the Unicode Standard in 2022 as part of the Kana Extended-B block to support the accurate digital representation of historical documents, such as old anthologies and handwritten manuscripts, where such nonstandard scripts were prevalent.
