Variation Selector-14 Symbol Meaning
︍ is the Unicode character named VARIATION SELECTOR-14 with code point U+FE0D (HTML: ︍, CSS: \\FE0D, JavaScript: \\u{FE0D}). Variation selectors are used to request a specific presentation style for the character that comes before them, such as forcing an emoji-style rendering or a different glyph variant, depending on what the preceding character supports and how the platform handles variation selectors. In practice, you typically place ︍ immediately after a compatible base character. If the font or system doesn’t support it, it may render like an empty box or have no visible effect.
Common uses
- •Request a specific emoji-style or glyph variant for the preceding character in Unicode-aware text.
- •Prototype and test typography/emoji rendering behavior across browsers and operating systems.
- •Insert variation selectors in localization strings where a particular presentation is needed.
- •Include ︍ in UI mockups or content drafts to check fallback behavior in your target fonts.
