U+E01C9 "󠇉" Variation Selector-218 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
󠇉
U+E01C9 "󠇉" Variation Selector-218 is a reserved code point within the Unicode standard's variation selectors supplement block, which was intended to be used as a formatting character to request a specific glyph variant for the preceding base character. However, like many other variation selectors beyond the initial set of sixteen, this particular selector has not been officially assigned or standardized for use with any existing character sequences. As a result, it currently has no defined function in any major Unicode specification, and its presence in text is typically ignored by most rendering systems, effectively making it a non printable invisible placeholder in the encoding scheme.
