U+E0147 "󠅇" Variation Selector-88 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
󠅇
U+E0147 "󠅇" Variation Selector-88 is a non-visible formatting code in the Unicode standard, specifically part of a sequence of 256 variation selectors used to indicate a preferred glyph variant for the preceding base character. This particular selector, VS88, belongs to the "Standardized Variation Sequences" block, meaning it can be applied to certain CJK or Emoji characters to request a specific visual rendering, such as a text or emoji style, though it does not produce a visible symbol on its own. Its practical use relies on font and software support, as the invisible code tells the system to display a particular alternative form of the preceding character when a standardized variation is defined.
