U+E01DD "󠇝" Variation Selector-238 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

󠇝

U+E01DD "󠇝" Variation Selector-238 is a special purpose format character that belongs to the set of standardized variation selectors used to request a specific glyph variant for a preceding base character in a sequence. Unlike visible letters or symbols, this character is invisible itself and has no semantic meaning on its own; its sole function is to modify the appearance of the character it follows, allowing for fine grained control over typographic presentation in certain writing systems, particularly for CJK ideographs and emoji sequences. This selector is designated as a valid alternative to the more common Variation Selector-16 and Variation Selector-15, but it is reserved for future or private use standardization rather than currently defined standard variations.
