What 󠇩 means
Its role is to follow a Han character in a glyph-variant sequence. Han characters appear in Chinese writing and as kanji in Japanese and hanja in Korean. A valid sequence places the selector after its base to specify one glyph form in plain text while retaining the character's identity.
Glyph variants predate Unicode: a name, old record, or publisher may need a particular form even when text treats variants as one character. The IVD records exact pairs because scholars, governments, and publishers need different sets. Its first collection, Adobe-Japan1, was registered on 2007-12-14.
Does VS250 have a registered use?
No registered pair uses it in the IVD release dated 2026-08-03. Selector numbers have no universal meaning; each base-and-selector pair defines its glyph request. If a sequence is invalid or unsupported, software shows the base normally and leaves the selector invisible.
