The following section represents a set of obsolete Japanese characters and an unusual variant of writing called Hentaigana. These characters used to be the italics of the Manyogana script, which used Chinese characters.

Hentaigana character: 𛄝

Parental hieroglyph:

As a result, it led to the creation of the syllable alphabet which is known as Hiragana.

After the Japanese script had undergone some reforms in 1900, Hentaigana practically called the quits. Nowadays it's applied for decorative purposes in order to make a text look more ancient and beautiful.

Historically speaking, the Hentaigana script contains around 800 symbols, the majority of which you can find in the block with Kana supplements.
