U+E0193 "󠆓" Variation Selector-164 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
󠆓
U+E0193 "󠆓" Variation Selector-164 is a special invisible formatting code within the Unicode Standard, specifically found in the Standardized Variation Sequences block. It does not represent a visible glyph or letter on its own but instead functions as a combining character that modifies the appearance of the preceding base character, typically an CJK ideograph or an emoji, by selecting a specific glyph variant as defined in a registered collection. This variation selector is reserved for private or standardized use, ensuring that rendering systems can display the intended alternate visual form, such as a different thickness or style, without requiring a completely separate encoded character.
