U+E018F "󠆏" Variation Selector-160 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

󠆏

U+E018F "󠆏" Variation Selector-160 is a specialized formatting code point classified as a variation selector, specifically belonging to the set reserved for standardized variation sequences that modify the appearance of a preceding base character, such as an ideograph or emoji. Its primary function is to request a particular glyph variant or presentation style for that base character, typically defined by the Unicode Standard or by a specific font implementation, though in many common fonts it has no visible effect and appears as a zero width space. Like all variation selectors, it does not represent a letter, symbol, or icon on its own but rather acts as an invisible instruction to the rendering system to adjust the visual output. This character is rarely encountered in plain text and is most often used in specialized contexts like historical text preservation or advanced typography.
