Variation Selector-125

109/240

Variation Selector-125 is an invisible control with no standalone reading; a variation selector can request a glyph form only as part of a registered pair. Unicode’s Ideographic Variation Database contains no pair using this selector as of 2026-08-03, so it has no registered character form to request.

Text symbol

What 󠅬 means

Only in a registered sequence, after its base character.

An ideographic variation sequence places a selector immediately after a CJK ideograph—a Han character used in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing. The registry assigns the glyph choice to the whole pair, letting plain text request a particular written form. If the pair is invalid or unsupported, the base character appears as usual and the selector stays invisible.

Why does 󠅬 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
