U+E0161 "󠅡" Variation Selector-114 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

󠅡

U+E0161 "󠅡" Variation Selector-114 is a highly specialized formatting code used in digital text to request a specific alternative glyph or visual variant for the preceding base character, particularly within East Asian scripts like Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. It is part of a sequence of Unicode variation selectors that allow precise control over typeface rendering, enabling support for older or historically distinct character forms without needing separate encoding for each variation. In practice, this character is invisible on its own, as it functions solely as a modifying hint for software and fonts that adhere to the Unicode Standard's variation sequences, ensuring subtle differences in appearance can be preserved in modern text processing.
