U+E0108 "󠄈" Variation Selector-25 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
󠄈
U+E0108 "󠄈" Variation Selector-25 is part of a set of 16 variation selectors used to specify a preferred glyph variant for a preceding base character, primarily in the context of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideographs under the Ideographic Variation Sequence (IVS) standard. This selector, when applied after a character, signals to rendering systems that a specific stylistic or historical variant form of that character should be displayed, rather than its default representation. While Variation Selector-25 is not commonly used in everyday text, it is essential for precise typographic control in specialized digital documents, such as academic works or historical archives, where accurate reproduction of character forms is critical.
