U+E01D6 "󠇖" Variation Selector-231 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
󠇖
U+E01D6 "󠇖" Variation Selector-231 is a member of the Variation Selectors Supplement block, specifically designed as an invisible formatting code that modifies the appearance of the preceding character. It does not represent a visible glyph on its own but instead instructs a compliant text rendering system to apply a particular typographic variant from a font’s repertoire, such as a specific style of a CJK ideograph or an emoji sequence. This selector, like all variation selectors, works in conjunction with a base character to provide fine-grained control over display, allowing for consistent representation across different platforms and fonts without altering the underlying text data.
