U+E017B "󠅻" Variation Selector-140 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

󠅻

U+E017B "󠅻" Variation Selector-140 is a specialized invisible formatting code in the Unicode Standard, belonging to the set of variation selectors used to request a specific glyph variant of a preceding base character. Unlike regular characters that represent letters, numbers, or symbols, this code point has no visual appearance of its own; instead, it signals to a compliant font or text rendering system to alter the shape of the character immediately before it, often to choose between different historical, stylistic, or regional forms of CJK ideographs or emoji sequences. As a variation selector in a reserved range primarily for standardized variation sequences, its presence in text guarantees a precise visual representation across devices that support the defined variation, though it will be ignored by systems that do not recognize it.
