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: [U:1B11D]
|
||||
|
||||
Parental hieroglyph: [U:65E0]
|
||||
|
||||
As a result, it led to the creation of the syllable alphabet which is known as [block:hiragana 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 [block:kana-supplement Kana supplements].
