U+FE05 "" Variation Selector-6 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

U+FE05 "" Variation Selector-6 is a combining diacritical mark in the Unicode standard that modifies the appearance of a preceding character, typically used in conjunction with CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideographs to request a specific glyph variant from a font, such as a different style of stroke or shape, in accordance with standardized variation sequences. Unlike a standalone symbol, this invisible control character is placed directly after the base character it affects, allowing text rendering engines to select a predefined alternative glyph for that character if available in the chosen font.
