About this character

U+FE0F is VARIATION SELECTOR-16, a variation selector in the Variation Selectors block. Its script is Inherited: it takes on the script of the character it attaches to. It was added in Unicode 3.2 (2002).

It is invisible on its own. Placed after a character that has both text and emoji forms, it requests the colour emoji presentation — for example U+2764 followed by U+FE0F gives ❤️. It is also required inside many emoji sequences. See variation selectors.

Common abbreviation: VS16.
