I think it's not about the variation selector, but about the variant form of a character.
% XeTeX
\def\VSI{\char"FE00\char"FE00}
\font\1="[NotoSansManichaean-Regular.ttf]" at 36pt
\font\2="[NotoSansManichaean-Regular.ttf]:color=FF0000" at 36pt
\def\theGlyph#1{%

\hbox to15mm{\tt #1\hss}%
\hbox to15mm{\1\hss\char"#1\hss}\ %
\hbox to30mm{\tt #1 plus VS1\hss}%
\hbox to15mm{\2\hss\char"#1\VSI\hss}\bigskip
}

\theGlyph{10AC5}

So the questions left are:
Is it really impossible to do it in XeTeX?
What are other, more commonly used, fonts with VS1 glyphs?
