U+E0151 "󠅑" Variation Selector-98 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
󠅑
U+E0151 "󠅑" Variation Selector-98 is a special formatting code point in the Unicode standard, specifically part of the set of Variation Selectors used to indicate a preferred glyph variant for a preceding character. It functions as a invisible control character that does not represent a letter, number, or symbol on its own, but instead alters the visual appearance of the base character it follows, often for specialized typographic or historical contexts. This particular variation selector, number 98, is reserved for use with Unicode standard CJK ideographs to select a specific style or regional variant, though in practice its application is rare and typically defined by specific font or system implementations.
