U+E0155 "󠅕" Variation Selector-102 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

󠅕

U+E0155 "󠅕" Variation Selector-102 is a special invisible formatting character used in text rendering to request a specific glyph variant for the preceding character, particularly in certain East Asian scripts or emoji sequences. It belongs to a small range of standardized variation selectors that allow authors to fine tune the visual appearance of text without altering its meaning. While most modern applications and fonts do not support Variation Selector-102 and it may appear as a tiny empty box or be ignored entirely, its intended purpose is to offer a nuanced level of typographic control within the Unicode standard.
