    <p>The Unicode standard talks about this. Here's a bit of <a href="http://unicode.org/reports/tr28/tr28-3.html#13_7_variation_selectors" rel="noreferrer">the relevant section from 3.2.0, annex 28</a> (I'm sure there are more recent versions around; this is the first I found):</p> <blockquote> <p>Unicode characters can be represented by a wide variety of glyphs, as discussed in Chapter 2, General Structure in The Unicode Standard, Version 3.0. Occasionally the need arises in text processing to restrict or change the set of glyphs that are to be used to represent a character. Normally such changes are indicated by choice of font or style in rich-text documents. In special circumstances, such a variation from the normal range of appearance needs to be expressed side-by-side in the same document in plain-text contexts, where it is impossible or inconvenient to exchange formatted text. For example, in languages employing the Mongolian script, sometimes a specific variant range of glyphs is needed for a specific textual purpose for which the range of “generic” glyphs is considered inappropriate. The variation selectors are used when characters have essentially the same semantic.</p> <p>Variation selectors provide a mechanism for specifying a restriction on the set of glyphs that are used to represent a particular character. They also provide a mechanism for specifying variants, such as for CJK Ideographs and Mongolian, that have essentially the same semantic but have substantially different ranges of glyphs. A variation sequence, which always consists of a base character followed by the variation selector, may be specified as part of the Unicode Standard. That sequence is referred to as a variant of the base character. The variation selector affects only the appearance of the base character,* and only in the variation sequences defined in this Standard. The variation selector is not used as a general code extension mechanism.</p> </blockquote> <p>(It goes on...)</p> <p>You may also be interested in the <a href="http://www.unicode.org/Public/6.0.0/ucd/StandardizedVariants.html" rel="noreferrer">Standardized Variants</a> (this time from 6.0.0).</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
