'''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, VS2, VS3, VS15 and VS16 have been defined; VS15 and VS16 are reserved to determine whether or not a character should be displayed as an [[emoji]].<ref>{{Cite web | title=StandardizedVariants.txt | url=http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/StandardizedVariants.txt | publisher=Unicode Consortium | date=2015-11-20 | accessdate=2016-08-28 }}</ref>
