There is difference in pronunciation of characters and by the Google translator [2]:

Character is pronounced as "だお", while
character is pronounced as "しま".

Other sites make no difference in phonetic nor in semantic among various Sima kanjis.
For this criterion, the unicode characters are combined in generic name Sima.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/島 島(しま、とう)またはアイランド(英語:Island)は、大陸の面積より小さく、四方を海洋に囲まれた陸地である。中国語では「島」とは別に小島を意味する「嶼」という言葉があり、これらをあわせて島嶼(とうしょ)とも言う。常用外漢字であることから、しばしば「島しょ」と表記される。
