U+E0118 "󠄘" Variation Selector-41 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

󠄘

U+E0118 "󠄘" Variation Selector-41 is a special, invisible formatting code within the Unicode standard, part of the "Variation Selectors Supplement" block, used to request a specific glyph variant for a preceding base character. Unlike regular letters or symbols, it does not represent a visible character on its own; instead, it functions as a hidden control character that tells a font or text rendering engine to display a particular stylistic or geometric variation of the previous character, such as a different stroke shape or orientation. This selector is primarily employed with standard ideographs like emoji sequence modifiers or with certain Han characters in historical or technical contexts to ensure precise representation in digital text.
