U+FE07 "︇" Variation Selector-8 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
︇
U+FE07 "︇" Variation Selector-8 is a control character used in conjunction with a preceding base character to specify a particular glyph variant, specifically the eighth variation selector in a standardized sequence. It is invisible on its own and does not represent a visible symbol; instead, it alters the rendering of the base character it follows, typically for the purpose of achieving a specific stylistic alternative, such as in CJK ideographs or emoji sequences, when supported by the font and software. This selector is part of the larger suite of variation selectors in Unicode that enable fine-grained control over typographic display without changing the underlying encoded character.
