U+E01C3 "󠇃" Variation Selector-212 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
󠇃
U+E01C3 "󠇃" Variation Selector-212 is a special formatting code point used in the Unicode standard to request a specific glyph variant for the preceding base character, primarily for complex scripts or emoji sequences. It belongs to the Variation Selectors Supplement block and operates in the private use plane, meaning its implementation and visual effect are not universally defined but are instead dependent on the font or system software. When placed after a base character, it signals to the rendering engine to display an alternative appearance, though in practice, support for this particular variation selector is extremely rare, as it is typically employed only in highly specialized typographic or encoding contexts.
