U+E0106 "󠄆" Variation Selector-23 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
U+E0106 "󠄆" Variation Selector-23 is an invisible formatting code used to modify the appearance of a preceding base character, specifically as part of the Standardized Variation Sequences in Unicode. It does not represent a visible glyph itself but instead instructs a compliant text renderer to display the prior character in an alternative graphical style, such as a different font variant or a subtle aesthetic alteration like a serif or cursive form. This particular selector is number 23 in a series of 256 variation selectors, and it is typically applied to ideographic characters from CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) scripts, allowing for precise typographic control without changing the underlying semantic identity of the character.
