Unicode Version 17.0
󠅄
U+E0144 "󠅄" Variation Selector-85 is a formatting character used in digital text to request a specific glyph variation for the preceding base character, typically within complex scripts like CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). It belongs to a block of 256 standardized variation selectors that are invisible in themselves, functioning solely as a signal to fonts and rendering systems to display an alternative shape or style for a character in a sequence. This particular selector, numbered 85, is intended to activate one of the predefined variation sequences registered in the Unicode Ideographic Variation Database, although its usage is rare and highly specialized.
