U+E0123 "󠄣" Variation Selector-52 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
󠄣
U+E0123 "󠄣" Variation Selector-52 is a code point within the Unicode standard’s “Variation Selectors Supplement” block, designed to request a specific visual variant for the preceding base character. As its name suggests, this selection indicates that the base character should be rendered with its fifty second registered alternative glyph shape, often used in ideographic CJK (“Chinese, Japanese, and Korean”) text to differentiate between calligraphic forms or for specialized applications like historical document reproduction. It is a combining invisible character that does not produce a visible symbol on its own, but instead modifies the appearance of the adjacent character according to predefined font and language rules.
