U+1B151 "𛅑" Hiragana Letter Small We Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1B151 "𛅑" Hiragana Letter Small We is a relatively rare and specialized character from the Kana Extended-B block, representing a small form of the hiragana character for the syllable "we". This character is used primarily in historical or scholarly contexts to transcribe older Japanese texts, where it denotes the now largely obsolete sound that once existed in the language. It is distinct from the standard small kana used for combinations like "kwe" or for modern phonetic transcription, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the accurate representation of classical Japanese writing.
