U+E017F "󠅿" Variation Selector-144 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+E017F "󠅿" Variation Selector-144 is a specialized invisible code point in the Unicode standard, part of a range of 256 variation selectors used to request a specific glyph variant for a preceding base character, primarily within complex scripts like those for CJK ideographs or emoji sequences. Unlike visible characters, it has no independent appearance and acts solely as a formatting marker, instructing a compliant rendering system to display the preceding character in an alternative style defined by a registered variation sequence. With a numerical value of 144, it is one of the later selectors in the Supplementary Specials Plane, reserved for private use or subtle typographic distinctions rather than common standardized variations. As such, it is rarely encountered in everyday text and is mainly relevant for specialized font engineering and advanced digital typography.
