Variation Selector
A variant form is a different glyph for a character, encoded in Unicode through the mechanism of variation sequences: sequences in Unicode that consist of a base character followed by a variation selector character. A variant form usually has a very similar appearance and meaning as its base form. The mechanism is intended for variant forms where, generally, if the variant form is unavailable, displaying the base character does not change the meaning of the text, and may not even be noticeable by many readers. Unicode defines two types of variation sequences: * ''Standardized variation sequences'' defined in StandardizedVariants.txt * ''Ideographic variation sequences'' defined in the Ideographic Variation Database (IVD) Variation selector characters reside in several Unicode blocks: * Variation Selectors (16 characters abbreviated VS1–VS16) * Variation Selectors Supplement (240 characters abbreviated VS17–VS256) * Mongolian (3 characters abbreviated FVS1–FVS3) ...

Variation Selectors (Unicode Block)
Variation Selectors is the block name of a Unicode code point block containing 16 variation selectors. Each variation selector is used to specify a specific glyph variant for a preceding character. They are currently used to specify standardized variation sequences for mathematical symbols, emoji symbols, 'Phags-pa letters, and CJK unified ideographs corresponding to CJK compatibility ideographs. At present only standardized variation sequences with VS1, VS2, VS3, VS15 and VS16 have been defined; VS15 and VS16 are reserved to request that a character should be displayed as text or as an emoji respectively. These combining characters are named ''variation selector-1'' (for U+FE00) through to ''variation selector-16'' (U+FE0F), and are abbreviated VS1 – VS16. Each applies to the immediately preceding character. As of Unicode 13.0: * CJK compatibility ideograph variation sequences contain VS1–VS3 (U+FE00–U+FE02) * CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A and B variati ...

Variation Selectors Supplement
Variation Selectors Supplement is a Unicode block containing additional Variation Selectors beyond those found in the Variation Selectors (Unicode block), Variation Selectors block. These combining characters are named ''variation selector-17'' (for U+E0100) through to ''variation selector-256'' (U+E01EF), abbreviated VS17 – VS256. , VS17 (U+E0100) to VS48 (U+E011F) are used in ideographic variation sequences in the Unicode Ideographic Variation Database (IVD). These selectors are known as Ideographic Variation Selectors (IVS). They are not listed in the list of standardized variation sequence, instead they are listed in anotheIdeographic Variation Database History The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the Variation Selectors Supplement block: References {{reflist Unicode blocks ...

Unicode
Unicode, formally The Unicode Standard,The formal version reference is is an information technology Technical standard, standard for the consistent character encoding, encoding, representation, and handling of Character (computing), text expressed in most of the world's writing systems. The standard, which is maintained by the Unicode Consortium, defines as of the current version (15.0) 149,186 characters covering 161 modern and historic script (Unicode), scripts, as well as symbols, emoji (including in colors), and non-visual control and formatting codes. Unicode's success at unifying character sets has led to its widespread and predominant use in the internationalization and localization of computer software. The standard has been implemented in many recent technologies, including modern operating systems, XML, and most modern programming languages. The Unicode character repertoire is synchronized with Universal Coded Character Set, ISO/IEC 10646, each being code-for-code id ...

CJK Unified Ideographs (Unicode Block)
CJK Unified Ideographs is a Unicode block containing the most common CJK ideographs used in modern Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese characters. When compared with other blocks containing CJK Unified Ideographs The Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) scripts share a common background, collectively known as CJK characters. In the process called Han unification, the common (shared) characters were identified and named CJK Unified Ideographs. As of Unicode ..., it is also referred to as the ''Unified Repertoire and Ordering'' (URO). The block has hundreds of variation sequences defined for standardized variants.
