What 󠇞 means
No; it needs the preceding ideograph and a defined pair.
An ideographic variation sequence (IVS) is an ideograph followed by a selector. The glyph request belongs to that exact pair, not to a fixed style such as “Japanese” or “traditional.” If the text system does not support the pair, only the base form may appear; the selector itself has no visible glyph.
A Unicode proposal called these supplementary marks “variant tags” in 1997. A 2001 proposal described their practical aim: preserve preferred CJK glyphs in names, plain-text records, and East Asian font collections without assigning a separate character to every form. Adobe-Japan1 became the IVD’s first collection in 2007.
