The variant number, which can be used to indicate a distinct appearance
of a character code. For example, a particular font might contain two
visually distinct appearances for the digit zero "0", one of which might
simply be an ellipse and another that is an ellipse with a diagonal
stroke through it.

Syntax
Property Value
Type: Int32The Variant value. The default value is -1.
Remarks
Note that Instance is independent of Variant, e.g. in a given set of characters one would typically have no duplicate Instance values regardless of whether the characters had different Variant values.
Variant is provided for user convenience, and its interpretation is application-specific. OCRMax functions will preserve this value but will otherwise make no use of it.
The concept of variant is related to the concept of "variant selectors" in the Unicode Standard, but the value of the Variant need not be a Unicode variant selector value.
The value can be -1 to indicate that the instance is not specified.
