I don't think we should not be creating entries for characters with variation selectors. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 07:54, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Is no-one going to find this and want to look it up?Troll Control (talk) 08:12, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

次 is what people would look up, not 次 + U+DB40 + U+DD01. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 08:33, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Alright, delete. I found it was a mistake. -- Huhu9001 (talk) 10:07, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Delete or hard redirect. I doubt variation selectors should be allowed in page names. See my recent Grease Pit post about soft hyphens. I would have written U+FE01; U+DB40 and U+DD01 are a way to encode that character when using 16 bit characters as in JavaScript. It shows in the URL in my browser as the UTF-8 encoding %F3%A0%84%81.

@Vox Sciurorum: Ah yes, it should be U+FE01. I was just quickly converting with a converter without checking properly. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 16:50, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

RFD-deleted, as "Created in error".

FWIW, I also added a comment in the related Grease Pit thread at Wiktionary:Grease_pit/2020/November#Ban_variation_selectors_in_page_names. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 17:59, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
