U+E016E "󠅮" Variation Selector-127 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

󠅮

U+E016E "󠅮" Variation Selector-127 is a special invisible formatting code used in digital text to request a specific glyph variant for a preceding base character, particularly within the Unicode Standard's variation sequences framework. Unlike typical visible characters, this variation selector does not display a symbol itself but instead instructs a font or rendering system to alter the appearance of the previous character, such as choosing between different stylistic forms of an emoji or ideograph. It belongs to a reserved range of 16 variation selector characters, with this specific one designated for standardized variation sequences defined by the Unicode Consortium. In practice, text containing U+E016E will only show its intended effect if the font and software support the corresponding variation, otherwise the selector is silently ignored.
