U+E017D "󠅽" Variation Selector-142 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
󠅽
U+E017D "󠅽" Variation Selector-142 is a specific code point within the Unicode standard's "Tags" block, designated as a variation selector. It serves as an invisible formatting character that is combined with a preceding base character to request a particular glyph variant from the font, typically for ideographic or CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) characters. Unlike standard variation selectors in the VS1 to VS256 range, U+E017D is part of a special set of 128 tag-based selectors that use Unicode tag characters, allowing for more specific variants, though its practical use is extremely rare and primarily of historical or technical interest within the Standard.
