U+E0153 "󠅓" Variation Selector-100 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
󠅓
U+E0153 "󠅓" Variation Selector-100 is a specialized invisible formatting character used in digital text to request a specific variant of a preceding base character, often for ideographic or emoji sequences. It is part of the Unicode Standard's system of variation selectors, which allow fonts to display different glyph styles, such as traditional versus simplified forms, without changing the underlying character code. Unlike typical visible symbols, this selector carries no standalone meaning and only affects rendering when combined with a preceding character that supports variation sequences.
