U+180C "᠌" Mongolian Free Variation Selector Two Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+180C "᠌" Mongolian Free Variation Selector Two is a format control character used in the Mongolian script to specify a specific glyph variant of a preceding base character, particularly for distinguishing stylistic or contextual forms that are not automatically determined by standard positional rules. Unlike its counterpart U+180B (Free Variation Selector One), which typically selects the more common or expected form, this selector indicates a less frequent or secondary variant, aiding in accurate rendering of traditional Mongolian texts where subtle visual differences in letter shapes carry semantic or orthographic significance. It is invisible in plain text and functions solely to influence the typographic output, ensuring correct representation in complex digital environments.
