U+E016A "󠅪" Variation Selector-123 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

󠅪

U+E016A "󠅪" Variation Selector-123 is a specialized invisible formatting character that operates as part of Unicode's variation sequences, where it is designated to be combined with a preceding base character to request a specific glyph variant or presentation form. This particular variation selector belongs to a set of supplementary selectors intended for use with ideographic characters, allowing text rendering systems to display alternative shapes or styles defined in standardized variation collections. As a non printing control character it does not represent a visible symbol itself but instead influences the appearance of the character it follows, making it useful for precise typographic control in contexts like historical documents or color emoji sequences.
