U+E0195 "󠆕" Variation Selector-166 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

󠆕

U+E0195 "󠆕" Variation Selector-166 is a non-printing control character in the Unicode standard, part of the variation selectors supplement block, used to modify the appearance of a preceding base character by selecting a specific glyph variant defined in a registered collection or standardized variation sequence. It occupies a reserved code point in a range designated for such selectors, and its primary function is invisible to users in most text display contexts, serving instead as a metadata marker for advanced rendering systems to apply alternative shapes or styles, often for CJK ideographs or emoji sequences. As of the latest Unicode specification, it has no widely implemented usage nor is it commonly assigned to any major character variation, making it largely a placeholder for potential future standardization.
