U+206F "" Nominal Digit Shapes Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+206F "" Nominal Digit Shapes is an invisible formatting code, classified as a control character, that serves to indicate that the following sequence of digits should be displayed using their nominal, or standard, digit shapes rather than any alternative or special style present in the font, such as those with descenders or ascenders. This character is primarily relevant in contexts where fonts might substitute digits in a nonstandard way, ensuring consistent rendering of numeric values according to the default design. It does not produce any visible glyph itself but instead acts as an invisible marker for text processing systems.
