In the Japanese writing system, are variant forms of hiragana.
== Description == In contrast to modern Japanese, hiragana historically had several distinct forms representing a single sound. For example, while the hiragana reading "ha" has only one form in modern Japanese (は), until the Meiji era (1868–1912) it was written in various forms, including 18px|class=skin-invert-image, 18px|class=skin-invert-image, and 18px|class=skin-invert-image. The shift to using only one character for each sound occurred as part of the 1900 script reform, which also included other changes to the written language to standardize spelling (and was part of a larger project to westernize the country).
