Variation Selector-103

87/240

Variation Selector-103 is an invisible formatting mark designed to request a particular written form of the preceding character. It carries no message by itself, and the number 103 alone doesn't identify a form.

Text symbol

What 󠅖 means

Only as part of a specifically defined character pair. It must sit immediately after the character it modifies. Unicode defines the exact character-plus-selector pairs that affect display; any other pairing has no effect, and the selector stays invisible.

In this supplementary range, registered pairs are called ideographic variation sequences: a CJK ideograph (a Chinese, Japanese, or Korean written character) followed by a selector. The Ideographic Variation Database (IVD) records which written-form variants go with each registered pair. VS-103 itself does not point to one universal form.
