U+FE0E "︎" Variation Selector-15 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FE0E "︎" Variation Selector-15 is a combining mark that instructs a system to display the preceding character in a text presentation style rather than as an emoji. It belongs to a set of variation selectors used to resolve rendering ambiguities, particularly for characters that have both a default text and emoji representation, such as digits or common symbols. When appended to a base character, such as a number or punctuation mark, it forces the renderer to use a monochrome, non graphical style, which can be useful for maintaining consistent typography in plain text documents or avoiding unintended colorful emoji displays in formal writing.
