U+E014E "󠅎" Variation Selector-95 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
󠅎
U+E014E "󠅎" Variation Selector-95 is a non printing formatting code allocated to a special block of Unicode known as the Variation Selectors Supplement. Unlike visible glyphs that represent letters or symbols, this character serves as an invisible control mark that modifies the appearance of the preceding base character, typically by requesting a specific glyph variant for a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) ideograph or an emoji sequence. It does not have its own semantic meaning but instead instructs compliant rendering systems to display the previous character in a particular alternative form defined within a standardized variation sequence, thus helping to ensure consistent typographic representation across different platforms and fonts.
