The block has five variation sequences defined for standardized variants.{{cite web|url=https://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/StandardizedVariants.txt|title=Unicode Character Database: Standardized Variation Sequences | publisher=The Unicode Consortium}} They use {{sc2|U+FE00 VARIATION SELECTOR-1}} (VS1) to denote alternate letter forms:
