'''Variation Selectors''' is a [[Unicode block]] containing 16 [[Variation Selectors|Variation Selector]] format characters (designated VS1 through VS16). They are used to specify a specific glyph variant for a unicode character. They are currently used to specify standardized variation sequences for mathematical symbols, [[emoji]] symbols, [['Phags-pa script|'Phags-pa]] letters, and CJK unified ideographs corresponding to [[CJK compatibility ideographs]]. At present only standardized variation sequences with VS1, VS15 and VS16 have been defined.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/StandardizedVariants.html | title=Standardized Variants | publisher=Unicode Consortium | date=3 March 2013 | accessdate=26 January 2014 }}</ref>
