U+E013B "󠄻" Variation Selector-76 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

󠄻

U+E013B "󠄻" Variation Selector-76 is a special non printable formatting code used in digital text to request a specific glyph variant of the preceding character. It belongs to a block of standardized variation selectors that allow fonts to display different stylistic forms, such as alternative letter shapes or emoji presentations, without changing the underlying base character. Variation Selector 76 is part of the Ideographic Variation Sequence (IVS) system, which is commonly employed in East Asian typography to distinguish between subtle differences in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) characters. This character itself is invisible when rendered, serving only as a signal to the rendering engine to select a particular alternative from a font’s glyph set, ensuring precise visual representation in specialized texts.
