Set the font's alternate selector character to

which should either be a single non-digit character, or a number between \-1
504
and 255. Use an alternate selector if you want to choose between different
505
versions of a character from within a TeX file. For instance, say that your
506
font provides three versions of "A". If you want to access them all, pick a
507
character to be your alternate selector -- say "*". Then give
509
the \&'\-\-altselector\-char="*"'
510
option. In TeX, "A" will produce the normal version, "A*" will produce the
511
first alternate, and "A**" will produce the second alternate. Furthermore,
512
"s*t" will activate any discretionary "s_t" ligature in the font.
505
which should either be a single non-digit character, or a number between
506
\&\-1 and 255. Alternate selectors let TeX authors explicitly choose
507
between versions of a character. For instance, the
508
\&'\-\-altselector\-char="*"' option turns the "*" character into a special
509
switch that cycles between alternates. For instance, the TeX input "A"
510
would produce the normal version of the "A" Unicode character, "A*" would
511
produce the first alternate, "A**" would produce the second alternate, and
512
so forth. Furthermore, "s*t" will activate any discretionary "s_t"
513
ligature in the font.

a glyph to \&'emptyslot' if you don't want
