U+E017C "󠅼" Variation Selector-141 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

󠅼

U+E017C "󠅼" Variation Selector-141 is a specialized invisible control character designed for use in sequences with other Unicode symbols to alter their presentation. As part of the Standardized Variation Sequences, it functions by following a base character, such as an emoji or CJK ideograph, to request a specific visual variant from a font, like a different style or shading. This particular selector, number 141, is officially defined for mathematical alphanumeric symbols, enabling devices and software to display those characters with a distinct bold or italic appearance when supported by the font. Unlike general text characters, it does not represent a visible glyph itself but instead serves as a formatting command within the digital text stream.
