U+E016C "󠅬" Variation Selector-125 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

󠅬

U+E016C "󠅬" Variation Selector-125 is a special invisible formatting character used to modify the appearance of the preceding character by selecting a specific glyph variation from a font, particularly within the context of the Ideographic Variation Sequence (IVS) standard for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) characters. It falls within a range known as Standardized Variation Selectors, which are designed to indicate alternative presentations for certain ideographs, allowing precise control over typographic style without changing the underlying text meaning. However, this specific variation selector is considered obsolete by the Unicode Consortium due to a change in the registration process for variation sequences and is not intended for general use in modern applications.
