Hello. I've circled characters I cannot recognise. The top one looks like を
but there is an actual をnext to it and it looks different. Why? The middle one
is ゆ in my opinion. But I'm not sure about that. Why does it look different to
the usual ゆ? And according to my research the bottom one is ず. But again I
have to ask why is there another ずand it doesn't look like that? Thank you all
for your answers!

question
hiragana
I cannot recognise this kana
They're [hentaigana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hentaigana), forms which
were used before the 1900 script reform. From top to bottom: な、ゆ、ず.
